McGinnis said his resignation, submitted under “doctors’ strong advice,” will be effective May 30.
“The problem is, I’m just getting too old,” said the 74-year-old McGinnis. “There’s a time and a place where it’s time to go and we have come to that. I just got out of the hospital at noon today and it’s just not working out.”
McGinnis, the board’s District 4 representative that includes Huntsville High School, said he had been dealing with health issues for about a 1½ years.
