Mayor Martin J. Walsh on Tuesday announced the appointment of a new School Committee member and the reappointment of another member.
Regina Robinson, a Hyde Park resident who is dean of student affairs at Cambridge College, will replace the Rev. Gregory Groover, a longtime member and former chairman who decided not to seek reappointment to the seven-member panel.
Robinson has been involved in the school system for several years, serving as a board member of the Special Education Parent Advisory Council and on the search committee for a new superintendent.
“She has a unique and broad perspective on education issues rooted in her experience as a parent, educator, and higher education administrator,” Walsh said in a statement.
Robinson said she was honored by the appointment.
“I am committed to increasing pathways to success, from pre-K to college and career for all students, including those with special needs,” Robinson said in a statement.
“We have a lot of purposeful work ahead of us, and I want to bring my experience to the table to see Mayor Walsh’s vision for the Boston Public Schools come to fruition.”
Walsh also reappointed Jeri Robinson, who also serves on the superintendent search committee and is formerly the vice president of early learning initiatives at the Boston Children’s Museum.
She joined the board in November, finishing the term of Margaret McKenna, who resigned in the fall to become chairwoman of the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Another new member will join the board in the near future to replace Claudio Martinez, who resigned on Dec. 23 from the School Committee and the English Language Learners Task Force.
In an e-mail sent to task force members last week, which was obtained by the Globe, Martinez said he was stepping down “to refocus my time and energy on personal matters that require my attention.”
