District appoints new Paso Robles High School principal

Michael Susank

By KAREN VELIE

Following the arrest of the former Paso Robles High School principal, the district has appointed Michael Susank as principal.

Law enforcement officers removed former principal Megan Fletcher from campus on Nov. 9 because of alleged intoxication. Officers gave Fletcher multiple breathalyzer tests, the first on the morning showed a BAC of .24%. Shortly afterwards, a second test showed a BAC of .25%.

Both were significantly above the legal driving limit of .08%.

Susank, then assistant principal and athletic director, stepped in to serve as interim principal.

“Mr. Susank has demonstrated thoughtful leadership throughout his time as interim principal, earning the trust and respect of students, staff, and families alike,” said Jennifer Loftus, superintendent of Paso Robles Joint Unified School District. “His commitment to academic excellence and positive campus culture makes him exceptionally well-suited to lead Paso Robles High School forward.”

He is off to a bad start. Just last week I witnessed students marching back from the Niblick bridge at 1pm waving Mexican flags. The students already had a free speech march on school time a week or 2 before. When will the school start punishing students for missing class? PRHS has terrible student test scores. No more missing class should be tolerated. Easy to fix, just give a quiz worth 10% of their grade whenever one of these marches is being instigated.

Wish him well; students and staff deserve much better leadership than the prior principal provided.

He’s already a louder because of Loftus likes him, it’s over, bad decision.

He’s already a losing install because if Loftus likes him, it’s over. It was a bad decision.

Will he allow the continued delusions and psycho behavior of the furries at the school?

Total compensation?

Google will tell you. About one-third more than the highest paid teacher and more than twice as much as the lowest paid.

Why can’t those who hired him tell us?, and how does it compare to what the former principal’s compensation was? Unfortunately Transparent California website only has the information submitted and many agencies are years behind.

I believe they have. Just because it’s not reported here doesn’t mean it’s not transparent.
