The Daily News says a school official became suspicious of the forged death certificate. A special investigator's report says it had different fonts that were misaligned.
Court records show Joan Barnett pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in the case this fall. She was also fired from her job as a parent coordinator at the Manhattan High School of Hospitality Management.
She allegedly told school officials her daughter died in Costa Rica so she could spend 2? weeks there in March 2010.
A Costa Rican government official later confirmed the document was a fake, noting it dated from 2005.
Barnett's lawyer declined to comment.
