A Chapel Hill – Carrboro City Schools teacher assistant has been charged with a Burlington murder.

Below is the message sent to parents by CHCCS superintendent Pamela Baldwin:

Good afternoon CHCCS families and staff. Earlier today, we received very disconcerting news from the Burlington Police that one of our employees, Tanesha Jeffries, was arrested and charged with murder in connection with a robbery in Alamance County.

As you can imagine, this news is devastating for a variety of reasons. This is an extremely difficult situation, and it is sure to draw significant media coverage, but we wanted you to have the facts as we know them.

Ms. Jeffries has been terminated from her employment by the school district. Ms. Jeffries worked as a teacher assistant at Northside Elementary with our pre-Kindergarten students.

We recognize this is very troubling, but know that we will lock arms and take care of our Northside students and staff members…and together we will work through this.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me directly. Thank you for your continued support.

Pam Baldwin
Superintendent
