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.

At the fountain in Balboa Park Saturday, a group of girls snapped Instagrammable photos of one another, while a family with two young children took a break from riding their scooters to snack on juice boxes and sandwiches.
Meanwhile at Mission Beach, crowds of people breezed down the boardwalk on bikes and rollerblades, while groups took in the sun on their beach blankets or at the bars lining the sand.
It was a fairly typical spring Saturday throughout San Diego in many ways except one: unlike recent months, there were far fewer masks.
This weekend marks the first following new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on mask wearing for vaccinated people in outdoor spaces. Per the new recommendations announced Tuesday, fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks outdoors unless they are in crowded settings or venues such as a large sporting event or concert.
