PLACENTIA, Calif. (KNX) – An assistant principal took his own life Monday while on Campus at Kraemer Middle School in Placentia, school officials confirmed, saying that it happened in a private staff area that students did not have access to.
In a statement on the Kraemer Middle School website, principal Michael Young provided the following details:
“I am incredibly sorry to announce that our Assistant Principal Moises Plascencia took his own life earlier this morning on campus. The incident took place in a private staff area and fellow staff members and students were not present nor was the occurrence witnessed by anyone. The Placentia Police Department (PPD) responded swiftly to our request for support.”
Young announced that school operations were suspended, and added that mental health officials from the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District will be on campus for the remainder of the week.
