I have heard of many reasons to get a paid vacation from work but this one is crazy. A teacher faked the death of her daughter and went as far as providing a forged death certificate. Click below to read the rest of the story.

A New York school employee forged a death certificate for her daughter to get a week’s vacation to Costa Rica, city investigators said. A recently released report from Richard Condon, special schools investigator for the city, said Joan Barnett, 58, a parent coordinator at the Manhattan High School of Hospitality Management, had one of her daughters call the school to say her sister had suffered a heart attack in Costa Rica, the New York Daily News reported Monday. Condon’s report said Barnett then had another daughter call to say the heart attack was fatal and the family was traveling to Costa Rica for the funeral. The report said Barnett forged a death certificate for “Xinia Daley Herman†to meet the school system’s requirement for bereavement days. A school official became suspicious of the death certificate because it contained “slightly different fonts which were not aligned properly,†Condon’s report read.
