Elections

2015

See also: Lynn Public Schools elections (2015)

The Lynn School Committee consists of seven members, six of whom are elected to two-year terms. The seventh member and chair of the board is the Mayor of Lynn. The other six members of the board are elected at large by the district as a whole. The general election was held on November 3, 2015. Incumbents Donna Coppola (D), John Ford Jr. (D), Patricia M. Capano (D), and Maria O. Carrasco (D) won re-election, while Lorraine Gately (D) and Jared Nicholson (D) joined the board. They defeated Dolores Jean DiFillipo (D), Natasha Megie-Maddrey (D), June Natola (R), and Michael Ouk (I).

While the school committee is a nonpartisan office, candidate filings for this election included the party enrollment of each candidate. Eight Democrats, one Republican, and one unenrolled candidate filed for the at-large race. A primary election was not necessary because all 10 candidates appeared on a joint ballot in the general election.[1]
