Paso Robles High School principal accused of hit-and-run, on leave

November 10, 2025

The principal of Paso Robles High School is on leave following accusations she was involved in a hit-and-run crash while driving a school vehicle.

Shortly after law enforcement arrived at the high school on Monday, Paso Robles Joint Unified School District administrators placed 42-year-old Megan Fletcher on administrative leave. Mike Susank, assistant principal and athletic director, will serve as interim principal.

On June 15, while driving a school district Expedition, Fletcher allegedly made a U-turn on Highway 46 near Shandon and hit a boat trailer. While the other driver pulled over, Fletcher allegedly drove by while flashing a peace sign.

Area residents have voiced concerns that she was not held accountable at the time. CalCoastNews will provide additional information after it becomes available.

What do you expect when a city’s identity is now based on wine, an alcoholic beverage?


Drink up, support Paso Robles!

Get this woman out! Away from kids! Fired! Never allowed to work in the education system again.

Man that school district has real problems if this woman continued serving as a principal after the June hit-and-run incident.

In five months the investigation should be complete and action taken.

What a great role model there, huh?

June 15th, wow!! If she really did this and had the nerve to flash a peace sign, fire her immediately! No one will respect her if this is true.

So CalCoast thinks an incident in June was just discovered and five months later she is put on Admin Leave?? Guess again as that was a bad guess.

I think Calcoast news is just reporting it.

I would like to know, why didn’t she get a chance to just surrender with her Lawyer? Sounds like that’s the real story. Perp walk away from the school. Great lesson for students that day.

I do not understand “reporting” speculation like this. The way the article is written, the writer is clearly trying to tie two incidents together that are separated by months. Only after PRPD did a press release with what actually happened did a new article come out. That press release said she was arrested that day this week for coming to school intoxicated, and ultimately being arrested for DUI.

“Paid” administration leave I’m sure, in other words an extended paid vacation….
