"Long-time Indianapolis Public Schools Board member W. Donald Payton officially submitted his resignation this afternoon, two days after he became aware that a felony drunken driving conviction in 2005 made him ineligible to continue serving on the board.
In a brief note, Payton said he would 'retire' effective Monday. The note is dated Wednesday but was received by the School Board secretary this afternoon. In a postscript, Payton wrote, 'I will miss all of you.'
Payton was convicted of felony drunken driving in 2005 after he made an improper U-turn and caused an accident. His blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit to drive in Indiana. It was his fourth alcohol-related conviction in 11 years. Indiana laws bars felons from holding office."
