State Board of Education member resigns, citing difficulty staying in Michigan

Michigan State Board of Education member Jason Strayhorn resigned Friday, saying he is moving out of state to support academic and sports opportunities offered to his three children.

Strayhorn, 46, told The Detroit News on Friday he recently sold his Novi home and lost his Michigan residency after 30 years. It was a decision he and his wife made after their three children were extended offers for academic and athletic careers in Florida and California.
