Herricks Ed Board President Chin runs unopposed for 5th term

After this uncontested election, it wil be lucky year No. 13 in office for Herricks Board of Education President Juleigh Chin.

“Honestly, I just really love what I do,” Chin said. “I gave a lot of thought to whether I should run again, weighing the time, the responsibilities, and the challenges. But in the end, I realized how much I love being part of this work.”

Chin, has spent three years as president since she was elected in 2013. During her tenure on the board, she has spearheaded the district’s partnership with Northwell’s Cohen Children’s Hospital to establish a school-based mental health clinic, helped the district navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, upgraded facilities and enhanced school security.

She said she hopes to use her next term to expand mental health resources, advance equity across all the district’s schools, ensure students have access to strong academic programs and prioritize classroom needs and long-term sustainability in the budgeting process.
