Police said McKeon apparently went off course and was trying to land on the school's playground when the aircraft plunged about 30 feet to a cement sidewalk.
McKeon was part of a hang-glider group that took off from Mount Diablo State Park. He somehow was separated from the other hang gliders and crashed several miles from their destination.
