TRENTON, NJ – Megan Laboy, 30, had worked for the Freehold Regional High School District since 2001. Her employment ended sometime after she admitted to stealing money from her Colts Neck High School students during the 2008-2009 school year. She admitted telling her students that they would receive extra credit for any donations or cash they gave her. These donations were to go to charities but the former social studies teacher kept the money for herself. Police reports put the total donations at more than $1,400, but she admitted to only purposely stealing $200 to $500 from the kids. She pleaded guilty Friday to theft by deception and under her plea deal, will most likely just get probation when sentenced in May. She’ll also be barred from holding public employment or office in New Jersey.
