Martin Luther King Jr. Day is Monday and will be observed nationally.

The federal holiday was passed in 1983 and the first nationwide observance took place in 1986.

There’s no school Monday for Tonganoxie public schools. Many government offices also will be closed Monday, along with banks and other institutions.

Tonganoxie City Council normally meets on the first and third Monday of each month, but will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday due to city offices observing the holiday on Monday.
