BATON ROUGE - "Dear all, I quit. Thanks, Katie Kennison" are the full contents of a resignation email sent to East Baton Rouge school board members and superintendent on Sunday afternoon. 

Former school board member Kennison took office in December as a Democrat who campaigned on being "anything but a politician." In 2022, Kennison beat out controversial candidate Connie Bernard in a run-off election.

WBRZ reached out to Kennison about why she decided to resign so suddenly but has not heard back.
