Jeneen Gino also submitted “inaccurate” financial reports in an attempt “to deceive the association and PTA Treasurer Giuseppa Held,” and “executed a Certificate of Liability insurance from Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co. that was fraudulent,” the 32-count indictment charges.
Gino signed other people’s names on the unauthorized Jefferson School Parent Teacher Association checks over the course of more than 3½ years between January 2010 and late September 2013, when she was arrested by Lyndhurst police detectives, the indictment alleges.
The total: $9,860.
The checks were written at various intervals, including three totaling $500 that were cashed in a 10-day stretch in February 2012, it says.
Three checks were written for $1,000, one for $840, another for $800 and a fourth for $700, the indictment charges.
The rest were in amounts ranging from $80 to $500, it says.
Gino originally was arrested in April 2013 after police said she was caught on camera taking $160 from a Lyndhurst Little League concession stand.
She resigned as the Jefferson School PTA president, pleaded guilty to a theft charge and paid restitution and court fees, records show.
The organization then reviewed its books and found discrepancies, police said.
Subpoenas were issued to banks and then search warrants for Gino’s home, where authorities said important documents were found that helped secure the case.
Gino remains free on $10,000 bail.
