A married special education teacher was arrested Thursday after admitting she had sex in her car with a 15-year-old student, investigators said. Evelyn Rogers, 33, who's been teaching at High School for Innovation in Advertising and Media in Canarsie, allegedly "engaged in sexual intercourse on multiple occasions with a male student," according to the Special Commissioner of Investigation Richard Condon.

"Someone at the school called in a complaint, and we followed up on it," Condon said. "We went to the school and we spoke to the teacher and spoke to the student. On the basis of what they told us, we went to the Brooklyn District Attorney." Rogers was slapped with statutory ? charges and was awaiting arraignment Thursday afternoon. The felony count carried a maximum of four years in prison.

The sexual relations took place in the teacher's car, sources said. The student, who was not named, is now 16. Rogers started working in city schools in 2011 and earns $54,329, records show. She has been reassigned from the classroom and educators will move to fire her, officials said. Stunned students at the high school said Rogers was well-liked and used to share with them stories about her husband and young daughter.

"I'm flabbergasted," said senior Nico Dussard, 18. "She's a good teacher. She has too much respect for herself to do that." At least two city teachers have been charged with ? so far this year. Daniel Reilly, a teacher at Intermediate School 237, was arrested April 8 for an affair with a former student.

Last May, Brooklyn teacher Erin Sayar was charged with a similar count as Rogers for allegedly bedding a 16-year-old boy. Her case is still pending.
