Sheila O’Neil, a fourth grade teacher at Shoemaker Elementary School, is the new president of the Lynn Teachers Union.
The 24-year veteran of the district won with 76 percent of the vote on Wednesday. Her two daughters attended and graduated from Lynn Public Schools.
“Sheila was the overwhelming winner of the election,” said Brant Duncan, the union’s outgoing president. “She is committed to our public school system and will continue to be a strong advocate for teachers and public education.”
