Each busted worker managed to get sick notes from their doctors - but most needed a lesson in how to be discreet.
Fresh tans and Facebook photos tipped off administrators and co-workers to some of the secret jaunts, according to investigators.
Robert Nappo, 55, a teacher and coach at Susan Wagner High School on Staten Island, and his wife, Cindy, a teacher at Canarsie High School in Brooklyn, were each fined $7,500 for a honeymoon…
