A spokesperson from the school district said “The Peoria Unified School District and Governing Board take all allegations involving student safety extremely seriously. At the time the concerns were reported, the information available did not meet the legal threshold for reasonable suspicion of abuse, nor was there corroborating evidence to support such a determination. The District responded in accordance with Governing Board policy, applicable law, and established procedures. Following a review of the matter, appropriate actions were taken to address the concerns raised. Due to pending litigation, the District is unable to provide additional details. We remain committed to maintaining a safe, supportive, and responsive environment for all students and staff.”

Meanwhile, investigations showed that Beck did not like being compared to Burlaka though they both sexually misbehaved with the same student. “I mean yeah I guess but even though our situation is still not right at least we are closer in age. I don’t like being compared to Mrs B,” Beck reportedly wrote to the survivor. While Burlaka gave up her Arizona teaching certificates, Beck did not and the Peoria Unified School District Governing Board decided unanimously last week that she'd be fired from her position.
