Student Government Day

Dear
Mayor Kennedy,
Hopefully
this year you will insure that students from all the high schools in Lynn will
be represented during student government day. Last year as well as I believe in
previous years KIPP ACADEMY was not represented.
While
admittedly I do feel a little uncomfortable advocating for them since I have
previously stated how much I disagree with their funding mechanism, the fact of
the matter is that they are a legitimate school and their students should have
the opportunity to benefit from the experience. By law, they are considered a
PUBLIC SCHOOL but since ST. MARY’S, a private school is always represented any
debate on whether or not they should be included is a nonstarter.
Last
year when I pointed out their absence former LSC member RICK STARBARD who also
pointed out their absence told me that he had been assured by you that this
exclusion would not be repeated. I am writing to you early enough to serve as a
reminder to insure their absence is not repeated.
Regardless
of anyone’s feelings on charter schools as RICK stated they’re all Lynn
students.
Sincerely,
