Some questioned whether or not it was the right thing to do yesterday....using the MLK holiday as a snow makeup day. But it was back to school anyway for students in Boaz and Arab. According to state officials, only Memorial Day and Veterans Day are holidays where school must take off. Arab School Superintendent John Mullins said lesson plans for the U.S. History class at Arab High School were geared toward honoring Dr. King, so there was some focus on the holiday. Mullins said they want their seniors to graduate on May 27th, and there was no disrespect meant to Dr. King. They'll be coming back next month to make up another snow day on Presidents Day too.
