CLAYTON, Mo. (KMOX) – The principal at Clayton High School has resigned after stories surfaced claiming that she created a bogus Facebook account to spy on students.

The official reason given for Dr. Louise Losos’ resignation was a “fundamental dispute concerning the appropriate use of social media”.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Clayton students began getting friend requests from someone calling themselves “Suzy Harriston,” and many approved her without a second thought.

But then one former student became suspicious and posted online his belief that “Suzy” was, in fact, Principal Losos.

“Suzy’s” Facebook page disappeared overnight.

Losos has been on paid leave, which will continue until her resignation becomes official on June 30th.
