Principal takes leave amid probe over side business

Richard Montgomery High School Principal Moreno Carrasco, currently under investigation by the school district for running a side consulting business on school days with allegedly plagiarized materials, is on indefinite sick leave for an unspecified illness.

“Mr. Carrasco also wishes to thank everyone for their support and trust in his leadership at our school,” Veronica McCall, now the acting principal at Richard Montgomery, wrote in an e-mail announcing the move to parents and students.
