(Bismarck, ND) -- A North Dakota State Board of Higher Education member is stepping down.

Vice Chair Jill Louters resigned Friday, saying she has accepted a new, part-time position. Louters will be working as a parent educator with the North Dakota State University Extension Service. She says she will continue as superintendent of New Rockford-Sheyenne Schools.

Governor Doug Burgum named Louters to the board in 2018. The board has eight voting members and two advisory, nonvoting members.
