Statement from Jackson Public Schools

November 11, 2010

We have reviewed the circumstances relating to the allegations against Coach Marlon Dorsey.  I have discussed our findings with the administrative staff and have decided to handle the situation within the policies of the school district which allow for suspension without pay or termination for violation of the corporal punishment policy.  In taking action, the school district considered the seriousness of the circumstances, prevailing policy, input and concerns from parents and the athletes involved, and Coach Dorsey’s overall employee performance record. Since this is a personnel matter, no further details will be provided to the public by the school district. We do not want to violate Coach Dorsey’s privacy rights. However, you may be assured that this situation has been addressed.
