Longtime Ridgefield High baseball head coach Paul Fabbri has resigned from the position, but remains a teacher at the school.  In an email to parents last night, the School Superintendent said that Mike Scarlett, the junior varsity coach, will serve as interim head coach for the varsity team. 

Fabbri and Assistant coach Tom Neville, were suspended after the April field fire and again for a separate investigation.  Neville remains on administrative leave.

The anonymous restitution made to the Town of Ridgefield was discussed during the Board of Finance meeting this week.  A board member asked about capping anonymous donations after reviewing the Town Charter.  The Charter calls for anonymous donations to be conditioned as a gift. 

First Selectman Rudy Marconi previously said that the restitution was made legally and it was not from a negative source.  Three attorneys in Ridgefield representing three people opened the trustee account.  The Ridgefield Press reports that Marconi noted capping the amount that can be accepted could “change philanthropy in town.”
