Rep. Diego Hernandez has resigned from the Reynolds school board weeks after announcing he would step down from his seat in the Oregon House.
The three-term Portland Democrat’s resignation from the Legislature is effective Monday. His last day on the school board was Wednesday.
Hernandez was up for reelection to his board position in May and no one has filed to run for the post as of Saturday.
The remaining six members of the Reynolds board will appoint a replacement to Hernandez’s Position 2 seat to serve through the end of his term: June 30. Hernandez was first elected to the position in 2013.
Only one person has filed to run for any of the Reynolds school board seats that will appear on the May ballot. The deadline to file is Thursday.
Hernandez announced his resignation from the Legislature in late February ahead of a House vote on his expulsion.
An independent investigator’s report released last January stated that at least three women said Hernandez created a hostile workplace. The women said they were pressured by Hernandez to have a romantic relationship despite them expressing their disinterest and telling him to stop.
Pressure had long been mounting for Hernandez to resign from his Legislative seat.
House Speaker Tina Kotek asked him to step down last May, months after the investigation was released. Hernandez won reelection amid the accusations and stepped down before the expulsion vote.
