The girl she had a sexual relationship with was not a student at the school, authorities said.
Livesay, who had taught at the school for a year and a half, was arrested on Nov. 17, and was placed on paid administrative leave until she resigned on Feb. 12, according to information from Kathy Bareiss, spokeswoman for the Mesa Unified School District.
Livesay will be sentenced on June 8.
