Former FRHSD Teacher Admits Taking Kids’ Money

As a teacher at Colts Neck High, Megan Laboy told her students they would get better grades if they made charitable donations. But in reality, she admitted Friday, the money went straight into her own pocket.

Laboy admitted the crime Friday, when she pleaded guilty to one count of fourth-degree theft by deception, according to the Asbury Park Press.

In exchange for her guilty plea, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office will ask that Laboy be sentenced to probation and seek forfeiture of any future public office.

Laboy joined the Freehold Regional High School District in 2001, but was no longer an employee by the time she turned herself in to authorities last year, district spokesman James Quirk said at the time.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 14.
