A studly special education teacher who gyrates his chiseled body in YouTube videos was fired Tuesday after a fellow teacher caught him using a class email account for Craigslist hookups, the Daily News has learned.
Matthew Maleski, 32, worked at Public School 183 on the upper East Side for just more than a year when he was canned for responding to sexy Craigslist personal ads using a shared school Gmail account. To the horror of his co-teacher, he also included a photo of himself in boxer shorts – and nothing else.
According to a report from special schools investigator Richard Condon, a teacher informed school Principal Tara Napoleoni in November 2012 that she had “discovered a number of inappropriate emails” in the Gmail account she shared with Maleski for their class. A PS 183 website lists him as an occupational therapist at the upper East Side elementary school.
The shirtless stud flaunts his ripped abs in a YouTube video called “I Just Wanna F*uckin’ Dance!” where he grinds to pulsing house music, his body bathed in orange light.
In the promotional video for what appears to be a wild DJ party held last February, the two-minute clip shows dozens of men stripped down to their skivvies, washing cars and grinding on stage.
Maleski, who started working for the Education Department in 2011, made $56,048 a year. According to the investigation, he said he did not intend to send the emails from the school account.
According to his online profile, which features the same shirtless photo on his Facebook page, he studied secondary education and pre-medicine and veterinary studies at Ithaca College, and graduated in 2002.
Maleski did not respond to calls or messages for comment. An Education Department spokeswoman had no comment.
