Teacher fined for touting daughter’s babysitting business

Smith, Bryan, Freelance NY Daily Lisa Shlansky has been reassigned from her job as a first grade teacher at Public School 87.

An Upper West Side teacher learned her own lesson about promoting her daughter’s babysitting business on the job, authorities said Wednesday.

Lisa Shlansky, who taught first grade at Public School 87, was slapped with a $ 6,000 fine for urging students’ parents to hire her daughter to watch their kids, according to the city’s Conflict of Interest Board. The board said the teacher, 51, also admitted she “inappropriately yelled” at a student in 2012.

Shlansky, who earns $ 100,049 a year, was formally reprimanded for two other offenses as a result of the inquiry by the Education Department’s Special Commissioner of Investigation, according to records.

Investigators confirmed she held personal video chats and searched for airline tickets while class was in session, department spokesman David Pena said.

She also showed a video to students in which people flipped the bird at the camera, according to Pena.

Shlansky has been reassigned out of the classroom, according to records. She did not respond to a request for comment.
