Fisler’s nine-year career with the Washington Township school district began in 2014. According to Superintendent Eric Hibbs, her employment with the school district ended in April 2023.

Fisler was a Social studies teacher at the Orchard Valley Middle School in Township, NJ. The Washington Township School District terminated her employment appointment after nine years, in 2023

The superintendent in a statement emphasized that the district takes “matters involving the safety and well-being of our students extremely seriously,” adding that officials are “fully cooperating with law enforcement” on the matter.
After leaving Orchard Valley, Fisler launched her own apparel company selling unofficial merchandise for the Philadelphia Eagles, according to her business’s Facebook profile.
The same profile states that Ashley also worked as a business administrator for her husband’s landscaping business in Sewell, New Jersey.
Fisler and her husband are still together. However, according to relatives, it is likely he had no clue about the alleged tryst until recently, and wouldn’t stand for that kind of behavior from his wife.

If the allegations are true, “I don’t think he’d stay with her,” his stepbrother said.
“He’s a good, upstanding guy. He has morals and everything — he wouldn’t be the type to stay with her if he found out.
“Especially since this is already making the news, I feel like that’s enough backlash to be like, ‘All right, maybe we shouldn’t be together anymore.’”
Fisler appeared for a brief video court hearing Friday where a judge read her the charges after which she was remanded in custody. She is scheduled to appear for a bail hearing for April 1.
