According to a report from The News & Observer, Orange County Schools Board of Education member Jennifer Moore submitted her resignation on Wednesday. The move comes less than a month before Moore was supposed to defend her school board seat in a run-off election with challenger Bonnie Hauser.

Moore was also reportedly facing questions about her doctoral degree from Bellevue University in Nebraska. The school told the News & Observer it does not have a record of Moore attending or earning a doctorate.

“I know this was a hard decision for her, and I respect her decision, and I’m very sorry that she feels she has to resign,” board chair Anne Purcell told the News & Observer. “I appreciate the time that I have served on the board with her, and I appreciate her service to Orange County Schools.”

Moore’s resignation will not have an effect on the election, which is scheduled for May 14. Absentee ballots have already been sent out, and early voting begins Thursday.

“The election is underway, and any votes cast for either candidate will be tabulated and reported,” said Orange County Elections Director Rachel Raper. “Vacancies on the Orange County School Board are filled by appointment by the remaining members of the School Board; there is no special election.

“Even if a candidate resigned from their current term, that resignation would not affect the May 14 election, as this election is for a new term.”
