Who's hot for teacher? Looks like the other teacher.
Two female Romance language instructors were tossed out of their Brooklyn high school after being caught "undressed" in an empty classroom, sources told the Daily News Tuesday.
Students at James Madison High School in Midwood were watching a talent show in the auditorium while Alini Brito and Cindy Mauro were speaking the international language of love, sources said.
A janitor stumbled on French teacher Mauro, 33, and Brito, 29, a married Spanish instructor, and tattled to school officials on Nov. 20.
Both tenured teachers were removed from the classroom and sent to Education Department "rubber rooms" while they're investigated for misconduct, sources said.
The episode is the talk of the school. Students even set up a Facebook group to discuss the shenanigans - and it already has more than 500 fans.
"Now you guys wished we installed cameras in our classrooms after all hmm?" wrote one student.
Janitor Robert Colantuoni refused to comment Tuesday. "I can't talk about it, I'm sorry," he said.
Brito's husband, reached by phone, said he was unaware of the accusations, but denied them.
"The school district has not informed my wife of these allegations and they are untrue," he said.
Students said both teachers were popular.
"[Ms. Mauro] was pretty fun," said junior Eddie Ramirez, 18.
"She dressed like a teenage girl - she'd wear low-cut tops, shorts, three-quarter length jeans. She was kinda sexy.
"You could see that she was the kind of person who would flirt."
Students said Mauro dyed some of her hair pink over the summer and has an array of sexy tattoos: a sun on her lower back, a flower on her leg, and a star on her foot.
Brito opted for more demure attire.
"She's pretty," said one 17-year-old who took French with her.
"Mrs. Brito was good-looking. Oh, yeah!"
A 16-year-old sophomore said Brito was a teacher students would come to with problems.
"She usually dresses elegant, looks smart," he said. "She's good-looking. And she was friendly, not flirty, just friendly."
Students said gossip about the romp was flying through the school, where staff members were trying to keep a lid on it.
"The teachers don't even want you to bring it up because they say they'll get in trouble if we're talking about it in class," Eddie Ramirez said.
"They just say, 'Let it go.'"
Teachers and administrators at James Madison would not comment yesterday, but the Education Department confirmed the probe.
"There was an incident in the evening when there was a school performance," department spokeswoman Margie Feinberg said.
"The two teachers have been reassigned pending the outcome of [an Education Department] investigation."
Oh it gets even better? Wow...
There are more sexy shenanigans at Brooklyn's Horndog High.
The day after the Daily News reported that two James Madison High School language teachers were busted "undressed" in an empty classroom, sources said a third educator is being investigated for getting too personal with a student.
Social studies instructor Allison Musacchio is under investigation for having an inappropriate relationship with a male student, sources said.
It is the second scandal in as many days to rock the Midwood school where New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Major League ballplayer Frank Torre once walked the halls.
School sources said they learned of Musacchio's alleged antics in March, after a female James Madison student saw her ex-boyfriend's phone number on the tenured teacher's cell phone.
Officials found more than 200 texts and calls between the teacher and the male pupil and yanked her from the classroom, sources said. They said the amount of contact was inappropriate.
Musacchio, 31, was also investigated for having a fling with a former student but the probe was dropped because the teen was of legal age and no longer at the school, school sources said.
Attempts to reach Musacchio at her home were unsuccessful Wednesday, but she has told a neighbor the allegations were untrue.
"She said, 'Absolutely not,'" the neighbor said. "She said, 'Are you crazy? With my Greek background, I would never do something like that. I have morals and respect.'"
A man who identified himself as Musacchio's boyfriend said he was unaware of the allegations.
"I try to stay out of her business. I just know she's a teacher here in Brooklyn," he said. "She's a good person, this is a total shock to me.
"She keeps herself to herself."
Parents, teachers and pupils were reeling Wednesday after The News revealed that a janitor allegedly caught French teacher Cindy Mauro, 33, and Spanish instructor Alini Brito, 29, disrobed in a classroom while students were attending an annual singing and dancing competition on Nov. 20.
In a bizarre meeting of scandals, Musacchio is a member of a Facebook group set up by students wanting to talk about the language teachers' purported romance.
Lawyers for the pair said 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."
Musacchio, Mauro and Brito have been pulled from classrooms and sent to "rubber rooms" while their cases are investigated. Education officials could not say if they were in the same location.
"The school heard about allegations about employee misconduct, reassigned the teacher and referred the matter to the [Special Commissioner of Investigation]," education department spokeswoman Margie Feinberg said of Musacchio.
