Lynn School Committee Meeting | April 30, 2026

The Lynn School Committee held a policy subcommittee meeting on April 30, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and updating the bullying intervention and prevention plan (policy JICFB) to ensure compliance with Massachusetts law. The committee discussed training for staff, data on bullying allegations and substantiations, and the role of school-based bullying coordinators. The updated policy was approved to move forward for full committee consideration. Additionally, the committee reviewed graduation and dropout data, highlighting challenges with multilingual learners and homeless students, and discussed instructional improvements and summer learning programs funded by Title grants. A field trip request for five students to attend the Bands of America summer camp in Indiana was approved, funded by the Murray Bernstein Charitable Trust. The committee also approved a three-year contract with the nurses union with 3% annual cost of living adjustments and adopted the 2027 school calendar. The meeting included various community and student engagement highlights but did not involve significant procurement or contracting decisions beyond grant-funded programs and union contract approval.
