More than 100 NYC educators accused of sexual relationships, communications with students as DOE finally mulls a crackdown
NY Post ^ | 1/25/25 | Susan Edelman, Deirdre Bardolf

Dozens of New York City educators have been accused of having inappropriate, often sexual relationships and communications with students, with some requesting nude snaps or plying them with money, gifts or drugs, newly released records show.

Thirty-two more cases of educators and other school staffers engaged in improper communications with kids were substantiated by the city’s Special Commissioner of Investigation — boosting the total to at least 121 cases from 2018 to 2024, up from 89 tallied in May, according to reports released to The Post.

Special Commissioner Anastasia Coleman has recommended 54 times from 2019 to 2023 that the city Department of Education prohibit all employees from contacting students using personal cell phone numbers, social media accounts, or other apps.

The DOE repeatedly rejected the recommendation but told The Post it may finally tighten the rules.

Among allegations in the newly revealed cases:

- Daniel Matuk allegedly began communicating with one of his 15-year-old graphic design students at William Cullen Bryant HS in Queens in 2020, exchanging over 700 messages between 2022 and 2023, investigators found. Matuk texted about her “brown ass” and “little butt,” and called her “b—h” and “whore.” Matuk would force the junior to hug him in his empty classroom. “I blocked Daniel Matuk’s number after graduation, but have been living with trauma because of what had happened,” she told investigators. SCI said he was “grooming” her. He collected $112,191 in FY 2024.

- Anthony Schiliro, a history teacher at the elite Eleanor Roosevelt HS in Manhattan, sent “excessive” late-night texts to three female students, investigators found. On one occasion, he joked about one student having sex in front of the other two.

Parents should not allow their children to have phones before adulthood.

It is laziness on the parents’ part, as such total potential contact makes it easier to change plans on a whim—as well as giving into their kiddos’ peer pressure demands.

The simple answer is no phones, no tech in classrooms, and parental control over tech at home.

DOE thinking about maybe possibly doing something about this?

Are their hands clean enough to accuse others?

Or will they ignore, sidestep and slow walk as a professional courtesy?
