Riza Jenkins, the vice chair of the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools school board, announced her intention to run for re-election. She shared details about her candidacy in a Facebook post on June 4.

“I remain committed to advancing our shared mission of providing an equitable, inclusive, and high-quality education for every student in our district,” the post read. “With your continued support, we can ensure that Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools remains a place where every child thrives.”

Jenkins was first elected to the school board in 2021, earning the most votes of any candidate in that race. She told 97.9 The Hill that her reasons for seeking a second term are simple.

“It may sound cliché, but there is still work to do,” she said in a written statement. “Working with the staff, I learned about school finance and programs across the district. Now we can continue the work as we embark on building new schools and implementing a fiscal strategy that aligns with our instructional programming.”

In 2024, as the board reviewed plans for school infrastructure expansion, Jenkins advocated for spreading out any new schools or expansions of schools in order to better address capacity problems across the district. She was one of the board members who oversaw position cuts to CHCCS in late 2024, and helped select Rodney Trice as the new district superintendent.

Jenkins said that helping create the student success committee is one of her proudest achievements from her first term.

“The student success committee focuses on monitoring student data and performance, which allows the board to understand and ensure the work that we are doing for our children has the intended impact,” she said. “And if not, we can work with the staff to determine what needs to be adjusted to address it.”
