Minneapolis school Board Member Faheema Feerayarre, who represented District 3 in the city's center since January 2023, has resigned effective immediately, the district announced Tuesday.

Her departure comes too late to add the seat to the November ballot, however, meaning her colleagues will have to appoint her successor in a process and under a timeline to be outlined next week.

Feerayarre ran unopposed in 2022 as part of a four-candidate slate endorsed by the Minneapolis DFL and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, and was set to serve until Jan. 4, 2027.

Board Chair Collin Beachy, who also was part of that four-person slate, said in a news release: "I thank Ms. Feerayarre for her service to the Minneapolis Public Schools community as a member of the school board. We all wish her the best in her future endeavors."
