SAN ANTONIO – A fifth-grade teacher at Martin Elementary School was arrested on campus on a drug-related charge, according to the Northside Independent School District.
NISD police arrested Jessica Perez Morales on Wednesday in the 730 block of Canterbury Drive.
A district spokesperson confirmed Morales’s identity and job at the school in an email to KSAT on Thursday morning.
Her arrest did not involve any students or other staff members at Martin Elementary School, the spokesperson said.
NISD said the district hired Morales in August of 2019, and she has been employed at Martin Elementary School for the entirety of her tenure.
This is an active investigation. KSAT will update this story as more information becomes available.
Andrea K. Moreno is a News Trainee at KSAT. She graduated from Texas State University with an electronic media degree and a minor in psychology. She also attended San Antonio College, where she held several positions at The Ranger, now known as The Sundial, for three years.
Katrina Webber joined KSAT 12 in December 2009. She reports for Good Morning San Antonio. Katrina was born and raised in Queens, NY, but after living in Gulf Coast states for the past decade, she feels right at home in Texas. It's not unusual to find her singing karaoke or leading a song with her church choir when she's not on-air.
