John McCormick of Center Moriches, the son of former Assistant School Superintendent Pamela Gluckin, became the sixth of six major defendants to plead guilty in connection with the embezzlement of millions of dollars from the Roslyn School District.

The announcement was made last Friday by the offices of Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice.

McCormick, a home improvement contractor, pleaded guilty to Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a Class C Felony, and Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree, a Class E Felony.

He admitted to fraudulently using the school district's Home Depot credit card, given to him by his mother, to make purchases in excess of $80,000.

In holding McCormick to the entirety of the indictment, District Attorney Rice recommended five years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and restitution in the amount of $83,982.54 for his role in the crime.

The District Attorney also recommended McCormick pay $88,597.56 in forfeiture, the monies he collected from his mother or spent by her on his behalf, and known to be a result of her theft.

Ms. Gluckin pleaded guilty in November of last year to Grand Larceny in the Second Degree for her role in the scandal. She is scheduled to be sentenced Monday, March 27.

Judge Alan Honorof will sentence McCormick on Thursday, April 27.

Prosecuting the case for the D.A.'s office was Assistant District Attorney Peter Mancuso. McCormick was represented by Joe Macy of Garden City.

March 27 will also be the sentencing date for Dr. Frank A. Tassone, the former superintendent of the district, who has pled guilty to larceny charges. It has long been expected that Dr. Tassone, when sentenced, would received a jail term of 4 to 12 years.

In late January, Andrew Miller was sentenced to four months in jail and five years probation for his role as a former partner of Miller, Lilly & Pearce, LLP, the certified public accountant who was the audit partner for the Roslyn School District.

Also, in recent months, Stephen Signorelli pled guilty to grand larceny charges, an infraction that comes with a jail term of one to three years.
