Schoolmarms are going wild in New York City.

Newly released reports from the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools documented multiple cases of shocking sexually-charged behavior by female teachers and aides in city public schools — from bedding students to sending explicit photos to high schoolers to exposing bare breasts to remote-learning 5-year-olds.

Natalie Black, 27, a teacher at Hillside Arts and Letters Academy in Queens, sent at least 15 raunchy snaps of herself “in lingerie or nude” to a 17-year-old male student beginning in late 2021, an SCI report said. The boy was interviewed by the NYPD, but no charges were filed.

By March 2022, the report found, Black’s bad behavior escalated: she showed male students photos of her vagina, pulled down her pants in a student’s home and told him to “eat my arse,” and sent kids videos of herself “deep throating” a liquor bottle and dancing naked from the waist down.

In another galling incident, Makita Brooks-Stanton, a paraprofessional at PS 160 in Queens, took her phone along to a May 2020 doctor’s visit — then stripped down for a breast exam in full view of her remote-learning pre-kindergarten class.

“She even had the doctor say hi to the class on Google Meet,” said a mortified mother who was monitoring the session over her 5-year-old’s shoulder.

“She was in her blue gown and that’s when she was exposed,” the mom told The Post last week. “It was a frontal view.”

Brooks-Stanton flashed the tots for “about two minutes,” said the mom, whose shouts eventually got the class’ lead teacher to shut down the offending screen.

Danielle Medellin, then 24, exchanged nearly 5,500 “very flirtatious,” “sexual tension”-filled texts with a boy in one of her 11th-grade math classes at Manhattan’s Institute for Collaborative Education. She resigned before she could be fired, as SCI recommended — and then snagged a job as a New York Times data analyst

Michelle Zak, then 31, “engaged in an inappropriate relationship” with two of her underage students at the Queens High School of Teaching, Liberal Arts, and Sciences, smoking pot with them and hosting them for sleepovers. She was assigned to a non-classroom DOE job while the investigation was underway and is now a self-employed tutor.
