SICKLERVILLE, N.J. – Former Timber Creek High School wanted to “get baked” with a “hot” student, but instead got his teaching license got revoked for sending suggestive texts to two former students.

“I always noticed u in the halls, between u and me … very hot and u look mature,” math teacher David Clune texted to one recently graduated student over the 2013 Fourth of July weekend, according to NJ.com.

Clune told another 18-year-old former student they should “shoot the shit and get baked … just me and u though …”

The student Clune was drooling over, a 17-year-old, responded to his advances by pointing out she’s under age, though the teacher “continued to pursue her and told her ‘truth is I have thought u were hot for the past 2 years,” the Courier-Post reports.

Clune was arrested in August 2013 and charged with harassment for his texts to the girls, NJ.com reports.

The New Jersey Department of Education’s board of examiners found that Clune’s 70 text and Facebook message with the underage girls constituted “unbecoming conduct” and ordered his two teaching certificates for mathematics revoked immediately.

The board also found that Clune used his school computer during work hours to access sports and gambling sites, used it after hours to visit the website for an Atlantic City escort service, and failed to report an arrest in August 2013 for a domestic disturbance, according to the Courier-Post.

The Black Horse Pike Regional District terminated Clune in February 2014, and an arbitrator upheld the termination in August 2014. An administrative law judge also upheld the district’s decision in April. Clune can appeal the board of examiners’ decision to the commissioner of education, though it’s unclear if he will.

In earlier proceedings, Clune attempted to explain away his bad behavior by blaming it on financial stress tied to his wife’s disability, and a drinking problem.

According to NJ.com:

In response to a 2014 order to show cause as to why his certificates shouldn’t be revoked, Clue argued in a Jan. 2015 answer that he was under “considerable stress” as a result of his parents’ failing health. Further, his disabled wife did not go to the shore with him that Fourth of July weekend for a family party, “causing him to become depressed and to overindulge in alcohol.”

For those reasons, Clune’s answer included admitting to the allegations but denying his certificates should be revoked.

The board of examiners voted in May to revoke Clune’s teaching certificates, and adopted that decision June 23, the news site reports.
