A Hood River County School District board member has resigned, citing his actions at a recent town hall conducted by Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden.  Benjamin Sheppard submitted his resignation from position 2 on the school district board on Tuesday.  In his resignation letter, Sheppard said his actions at the town hall were well-intentioned, but had “imperiled the integrity of the school board.”  In the letter he also said he extended a “sincere and heartfelt apology to the school board members, superintendent, employees, and students of the Hood River County School District.  District officials say they hope to fill the vacancy at their April 24 meeting.  Applications are available at the district’s website, with a deadline to file of April 17 at 4 p.m.  Position 2 represents much of the Westside area.
