Matt Glendenning, Head of School, sent the following letter:

"I have been in contact with the alumnus over the past several weeks and am deeply concerned by his allegation. Coming forward for the first time, he described a series of separate incidents with two teachers. On hearing his story, I shared my profound sadness for what he had experienced and my heartfelt apology that Moses Brown had failed to keep him safe during his time at the school.

Both teachers are now deceased, and for the time being we are not releasing their names pending the result of further investigation.

Maintaining a safe environment for all our students is our primary concern at Moses Brown. Following this alumnus' report, and in the interest of safety, truth, and healing, we now feel a responsibility to inquire whether there were other victims or perpetrators who have not yet been identified."
