A Statement from Medfield Superintendent Jeffrey Marsden

The following is a statement from Medfield Public Schools Superintendent Jeffrey
Marsden:

Earlier today, the District was notified that the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission
concluded a civil matter involving one of our employees, who also serves as a coach and staff
member at Medfield High School. The complaint was filed in 2023 by an outside party.

Today, the Commission reached a settlement regarding the individual's use of school property
for private business purposes. The staff member has fully cooperated with the Commission's
lengthy review and has accepted full responsibility for these violations of state ethics
regulations.

It is important to emphasize that the matter is civil in nature and does not involve any criminal
allegations. The staff member in question has served our students and school community with
the utmost dedication and professionalism for many years, both on and off the field. The
employee has acknowledged their error and taken full accountability for their actions. It should
be noted that all employees of the District are required to complete the state’s online ethics
training every two years.

We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency in our
schools, and we believe this resolution reflects both accountability and fairness.
