A spokesperson for Peoria Unified provided the following statement following Monday’s warrant:
The Peoria Unified School District is disappointed by the Peoria Police Department’s decision to execute a second search warrant at the District Administration Center and Cholla Annex today, which closed district operations for the day and may affect operations in the days ahead. An extended closure would negatively impact the district’s mission of educating the thousands of children it serves.
Since the execution of the first search warrant on May 28, 2026, the district has cooperated fully with the investigation — as it always has — through numerous written and verbal exchanges, providing available information and records, answering questions, offering to run additional searches and making district personnel available for further discussion.
The district was therefore surprised by today’s action by the Peoria Police Department, which was carried out despite our ongoing cooperation and repeated offers of assistance. The district remains committed to working with the Peoria Police Department, renews its offer of full cooperation and looks forward to returning to its critical work of preparing for the start of the school year and educating children as soon as possible.
To clear up misinformation that is spreading on social media, no district employees or Governing Board members were taken into custody. The district reminds the media and the community that individual Governing Board members do not speak for the Peoria Unified School District or the Governing Board.

In order to approve its annual budget in accordance with ARS 15-905, the Peoria Unified School District Governing Board will hold its previously scheduled Regular Board meeting at 6 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, July 7, at Marshall Ranch Elementary School in the cafetorium. Marshall Ranch Elementary School is located at 12995 N. Marshall Ranch Drive in Glendale. Due to the change in location, the meeting will not be livestreamed, but it will be recorded and posted on the district’s website following the meeting.
A condensed agenda is available on the district’s website and is limited to items critical to the district’s continued operations.
Our goal remains the same: fully cooperating with police, so they can complete their work as quickly as possible – so we can prepare every campus and classroom for a successful start to the new school year.
An internal investigation alleged that Haley Beck, a former world history, sociology, psychology teacher, and soccer coach for the school, “groomed” a student.
According to police and school district records, Beck is accused of exchanging more than 4,000 text messages with a teen student between June and August of 2025, allegedly “meeting up to have sex, drinking alcohol, smoking weed.”

Another teacher, Angela Burlaka, who Peoria police are recommending aggravated luring of a minor charges, surrendered her teaching license. Police records allege Burlaka sent sexually explicit videos to the same student. Data in police records indicate some messages were sent before the student turned 18. Burlaka was the COOP and Child Development teacher at the school.
Some community members, including school board members, have called for a third-party investigation into the handling of the allegations at the school as well as any violation of mandatory reporting laws.
