Mayor Tishaura O. Jones announced the appointments of Dr. John A. Wright, Sr. and Brittany Hogan to the St. Louis Board of Education following the resignations of members Dr. Joyce Roberts and Regina Fowler in April.
"Following the resignations of two members, continuity, diversity, and collaboration on the Board of Education are key to moving forward and providing a better future for St. Louis students," said Mayor Tishaura O. Jones. "With backgrounds in social work, equity, as well as school administration, these two accomplished leaders represent these values well. I look forward to working alongside the full Board to improve schools and educational opportunities for families across St. Louis."

Prior to accepting her current position as Manager for the Center for Human Service Leadership, a partnership between Washington University's School of Social Work and Delmar DiviNe, she served the Rockwood School District for eight years supporting the district's DEI initiatives, including monitoring transportation and educational outcomes for more than 1,400 St. Louis City children utilizing the Voluntary Transfer Student Program (VTS), coordinating the district's social workers, and promoting cultural competence in academics.
