The district has been informed that Kevin Muscarello, a high school physical education teacher and head coach of the boys varsity volleyball team was arrested on Sunday, October 6 for alleged possession of anabolic steroids.

Mr. Muscarello has been employed by the district for 11 years, had no prior criminal record and all appropriate due diligence in conformance with state law was exercised in his hiring. Mr. Muscarello will be administratively reassigned and will remain so, pending the outcome of the legal process.

We have no reason to believe that Mr. Muscarello was distributing steroids to students. Our district will cooperate fully with the police and their investigation and we will continue to make the safety and well-being of our students and staff our top priority.
