ZACHARY, La. (AP) - Zachary School Board member Donnie Dykes Jr. has resigned from his elected position because he recently moved out of the district he represents.
Dykes, the District 8 school board member, told The Advocate (https://bit.ly/LKnF4u) he remains a Zachary resident but moved in with his new wife in a house in District 5, prompting the resignation.
The resignation was effective on Wednesday according to a letter from Dykes to Secretary of State Tom Schedler.
Dykes ran unopposed in 2010. His term expires at the end of 2014.
Voters will go the polls in October to fill Dykes’ seat along with all the members of the Zachary School Board who will be up for re-election. The next term will begin in January 2015.
