COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohio Board of Education President Jennifer Sheets says she will resign in June.

Sheets made the announcement Monday during the board’s monthly meeting in Columbus. She says pressing family matters are demanding more of her attention.

Sheets was elected by the board in January to serve her fourth two-year term as president, which ends Dec. 31, 2010.

Gov. Ted Strickland will name her replacement, and the 19-member board is expected to choose a new president at its June meeting.

Sheets was first appointed to the board in 1995 by then Gov. George Voinovich.
