Summary
After executive-session negotiations the committee voted in open session to extend and approve a three‑year contract making Dr. Molly Cohen permanent superintendent and to extend the district attorney's contract for one year.
Following executive-session discussions about contract negotiations, the full committee returned to open session and recorded a public vote approving a three-year contract to make Dr. Molly Cohen the permanent superintendent of Lynn Public Schools. Mayor Nicholson reported the vote and Dr. Cohen spoke briefly, saying she was "deeply humbled and grateful for the opportunity to continue to lead in a district in a city that I love."
