Overview
- Amy Beck, a teacher at Coyote Hills Elementary in Peoria, was placed on paid administrative leave Monday after a complaint to the State Board of Education about a 2020 TikTok that appeared to show her miming a sexual act with her son, influencer Noah Beck.
- Peoria Unified School District said the step was taken out of caution, noted student safety is not at issue, and assigned a substitute while it investigates.
- Weeks earlier, the district fired Beck’s daughter, Centennial High School teacher Haley Beck, after an internal probe concluded she groomed a student and had a sexual relationship, a finding her lawyer disputes.
- Peoria police said this month they resubmitted their case to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office recommending a pandering felony for Haley and former teacher Angela Burlaka, and prosecutors have not announced charges.
- District and police records detail more than 4,000 texts between Haley and the student, about $630 sent via Apple Pay, gifts including alcohol and drugs, and preferential grading, which investigators said showed grooming behavior.
