Teachers, staff caught giving fake doctors notes to get out of work

These educators think they have a license to ill.

Some school staffers are apparently a lot like their students — they make up excuses and hand over bogus doctors notes to skip class, reports by the city’s Special Commissioner of Investigation Richard Condon reveal.

A Facebook post foiled Kristy Lebron, a guidance counselor at the Academy of Urban Planning in Brooklyn, who on Nov. 12, 2010 claimed to be sick — while she was living it up in Florida.

“About to enjoy my last night in Fort Lauderdale . . . so ready!” she bragged online, the report says.

Lebron told probers she was “pretty sure” she used a personal day rather than a sick day, according to the report. Condon recommended “appropriate disciplinary action” be taken against Lebron.

Louis Lucci, a teacher at McKee HS on Staten Island, passed off notes excusing him for a week in late 2012 and early 2013.

Lucci told probers that the notes were given to him by the “reception ladies” at his doctor’s office — who told Condon the missives were “not authentic,” the report states. Lucci resigned last year, said the DOE.
