Alini Brito, 30, were removed from James Madison High School in November.

The "Horndog High" teachers might want to dust off their résumés.

The city Education Department is gearing up to charge the two Brooklyn romance language teachers with misconduct, four months after the Daily News reported they were busted naked together in an empty classroom.

Married Spanish instructor Alini Brito, 30, and French teacher Cindy Mauro, 34, were yanked from James Madison High School last November after a janitor barged in on them and reported the apparent tryst.

Department of Education officials said Tuesday that an investigation into the tenured pair substantiated the allegations, setting them up to be punished.

"They face disciplinary action," spokeswoman Margie Feinberg said, but would not provide any further details about the incident.

The steamy Nov. 20 incident took place while the rest of the school was in a talent show in the auditorium.

It sent shock waves through the Midwood high school, which was dubbed "Horndog High."

Students set up a Facebook group to discuss the shenanigans and lit up Twitter with comments about the instructors' bawdy behavior. The women, who were pulled from the school and assigned to "rubber rooms" while the investigation took place, have not spoken publicly about the events, and their lawyer did not return calls for comment yesterday.

But their lawyer said at the time that they "categorically deny the salacious allegations."

"They are both exemplary teachers whose reputations and careers are being irreparably harmed by unfounded rumors and innuendo," a statement said.

"They intend to vigorously address these allegations in the proper forum."

While the school was still reeling from the Brito-Mauro teacher scandal, it emerged that social studies teacher Allison Musacchio was also being investigated.

Musacchio was accused of getting too personal with a male student, sending him hundreds of text messages and calling him, sources told The News.

Musacchio, 31, was also reassigned outside the school while her case was being investigated, and she has now been charged with inappropriate behavior.

Education officials are seeking her termination, Feinberg said.

No need to worry folks. Obama's "Safe School Czar" will get to the bottom of this!

Obama's "Safe School Czar" Kevin
"use a condom" Jennings

From the Washington Times...

EDITORIAL: At the president's pleasure
'Safe school czar' encouraged child sex with an older man
September 28, 2009

A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar". It's getting hard to keep track of all of this president's problematic appointments. Clearly, the process for vetting White House employees has broken down.

In this one case in which Mr. Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.

According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night. When some details about the case became public, Mr. Jennings threatened to sue another teacher who called his failure to report the statutory rape "unethical." Mr. Jennings' defenders asserted that there was no evidence that he was aware the student had sex with the older man.

However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim. In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools. On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated."

Mr. Jennings' denials about these events reveal a lack of remorse. He has not admitted that he made mistakes in this case, and he now refuses to answer any questions about the scandal. Don't forget, this is a presidential appointee we're talking about. Mr. Obama should make clear what his standards are for public servants serving at the pleasure of the president. Encouraging and covering up man-boy sexual activity are serious offenses. The White House should force Mr. Jennings to come clean.

These schools need to double down on this, it’s becoming way too prevalent. Leave the kids alone, if you want to have a romance take it off campus.

Teachers in New York have committed felonies and yet the Union kept them from being terminated. All these women will be getting is a reprimand, plus some rather interesting part-time job offers on the internet.
