Iranetta Wright

On Monday, her first day on the job, Iranetta Wright acknowledged the challenges Cincinnati Public Schools faced last year and says she's working in partnership with the Board of Education to negotiate with partners to respond effectively.

The plan is divided into four parts to allow for engagement with the community, looking at the organization of the district's departments, evaluating changes that need to be made within CPS, and implementing new strategies.

As she prepares to enter her new role in Cincinnati Public Schools, Wright says she plans to lead with collaboration in mind.

Wright previously served as the deputy superintendent for Detroit Public Schools Community District.
