History

In 2003 the district began a partnership with Gordon College of Wenham; college students volunteered at the district's schools. The college stated opposition to a U.S. federal government protection on the hiring of gays and lesbians; in 2014, citing that opposition, Lynn Public Schools ended the partnership.

Demographics

The Mayor of Lynn, Judith Flanagan Kennedy, stated that the district had 538 students of Central American origin enrolled during the 2013-2014 school year, and during that school year there were over 600 new students, including 248 Guatemalans. In a two-year period ending in July 2014, the number of students not born in the United States increased by 100%. The number of students of Central American origin in the district was 54 in the 2010-2011 school year.

In August 2014 Kennedy stated at a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) press conference in Washington DC that her school district is receiving many undocumented Guatemalan immigrants and that many of them are difficult to educate since they are not literate in any language. 126 of the Guatemalans who newly enrolled in the 2013-2014 school year were undocumented immigrants, according to Kennedy. According to Kennedy, many had been processed in and released from an ICE facility in San Antonio, Texas, and most of them originated from San Marcos Department. According to Kennedy, some adults above the age of school enrollment have attempted to enroll as students, with one man being 35 years old, but that the U.S. Department of Justice prevented the district from doing age verification.
