Lynn Public Schools is a school district headquartered in Lynn, Massachusetts. As of 2014 it is the fifth largest school district in Massachusetts.[6]

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.[7]
