She will resign June 30 because of a dispute about social media use, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Saturday.

Quoting from the Post-Dispatch article:

"The resignation is effective June 30. The district said the administration and Losos 'had a fundamental dispute concerning the appropriate use of social media.'"

The School District of Clayton declined to confirm to the Post-Dispatch whether the decision had anything to do with a claim posted online in early April that the principal had created a Facebook profile under the name Suzy Harriston.

In an 8 a.m. Saturday email statement, the district wrote:

"Dr. Louise Losos has resigned as Clayton High School Principal effective June 30, 2012. The District and Dr. Losos had a fundamental dispute concerning the appropriate use of social media. She will remain on a leave of absence for personal reasons for the remainder of the 2011-2012 school year."
