"The Winnipeg School Division has accepted teacher Chrystie Fitchner's resignation. The short term contract for Adeil Ahmed has run its course and expired ... and will not be renewed," said a statement.
Both teachers at the Churchill High School were suspended last month for performing "an inappropriate dance during a school spirit week," it said.
Their lewd performance during a teachers' "dance-off" competition in the school's gymnasium was recorded on February 17 by a student using what appeared to be a cell phone and later distributed online.
By the next day, it had become a hit on video-sharing websites, and Canada's public broadcaster CBC aired it nationwide the following week.
The clip showed students giggling, gasping and screaming as a male teacher bumps and grinds against a female colleague seated in a chair in the middle of the crowded gymnasium.
It provoked mixed reactions from "appalling" to "harmless fun" in Canadian online forums.
"If it were up to me personally, I would fire them both," Winnipeg School Division trustee Mike Babinsky said at the time. "Teachers are mentors to our children. This is the kind of stuff I don't want kids to mimic."
"They so, so crossed the line," a parent, whose daughter showed her the video, groaned to the Winnipeg Free Press.
"It embarrassed me. While we were first watching it, I said, 'They crossed the line.' My daughter said, 'Wait, it gets better.'"
The male teacher also appeared in the one-minute video bobbing his head near the female teacher's genitals in an apparent simulation of oral sex and grinding his hips against her crotch.
