Police establish tip line for investigation into 2 former Peoria teachers, including Haley Beck

PHOENIX – The Peoria Police Department established a tip line for its investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by two former teachers.

Anybody with knowledge of misconduct by Haley Beck or Angela Burlaka is encouraged to call the dedicated tip line at 623-773-8132.

Police previously submitted findings to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office but are still investigating the former Centennial High School teachers.

Meanwhile, prosecutors haven’t made a charging decision yet. Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell told reporters last week her office was still waiting to interview a “critical witness.”

What led police to establish tip line for investigation?

The Peoria Unified School District fired Burlaka on Jan. 26 after she surrendered her teaching certification. Beck was dismissed March 26 for violating the district’s sexual harassment policy.

Beck, 27, is accused of exchanging more than 4,000 text messages with a teen student in 2025. The discussion topics allegedly included sex, drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.

Burlaka, 45, allegedly sent sexually explicit videos to the same student.

Haley Beck’s brother is social media star Noah Beck

Beck’s involvement is garnering national attention because she is the sister of popular content creator Noah Beck, who has more than 33 million TikTok followers.

The fallout from the case extended to the Becks’ mother as well as the president of the Peoria Unified School District Governing Board.

Amy Beck, a teacher at Peoria’s Coyote Hills Elementary School, was cleared of wrongdoing, but Heather Rooks was removed from her role as the board’s president.

Amy Beck was placed on leave last week while the district investigated her appearance in a 2020 video with Noah Beck. She appeared to be simulating a sex act in the video. The district determined that her actions outside the workplace did not interfere with her teaching responsibilities, and she was cleared to return to the classroom Monday.

On Tuesday, the board voted 3-2 to remove Rooks as president and move Jeff Tobey into the position.

Rooks was accused of working outside the board’s due process when she asked Maricopa County prosecutors to look into whether district employees followed mandatory reporting laws related to the sexual misconduct allegations.
