Goodyear police have arrested a teacher for alleged sexual misconduct with a 13-year-old student, according to KTVK.
Police say 27-year-old Brittany Zamora was taken into custody Wednesday.
She was a sixth-grade teacher at Las Brisas Academy near 182nd Avenue and Broadway in Goodyear.
Police say a parent found text messages between Zamora and the male student, indicating sexual activity both on and off campus. According to court records obtained by the Arizona Republic, Zamora allegedly performed oral sex on the teen inside a school classroom and in her car. She’s also accused of having sex with him on three occasions.

“The text messages found are sexual in nature that allege an ongoing relationship between the two,” said Lisa Kutis with the Goodyear Police Department.
Kutis said the parents of the 13-year-old alleged victim used an app to monitor his phone.
“As a result of an app, which alerted the parents to some keywords, they then checked the cellphone and discovered these text messages,” Kutis said.
The parent told the principal about the incident, and the principal called the police.
“They froze different screens off the student’s phone,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Richard Rundhaug, speaking of the alleged victim’s parents.
“We made arrangements for the teacher to come to school today for a meeting with the principal, and the arrest took place before that meeting could take place,” Rundhaug said.
