Peoria School District Under Fire | Mesa News
About this episode
Peoria Unified School District faces scrutiny following an investigation into former educators, leading to leadership changes and a focus on school safety.
Peoria Unified School District is under fire after an investigation into two former educators at Centennial High, prompting leadership upheaval and public scrutiny. Board President Jeff Tobey admitted past missteps in communication but stressed the investigation remains with law enforcement. The district’s incoming superintendent stepped down, and the chief personnel officer is now interim leader. New Centennial High Principal Darien Schoolcraft, appointed amid controversy, was vetted through a competitive process and cleared of any mandatory reporting violations based on available information at the time. Tobey denied a cover-up, calling the situation fact-dependent and emphasizing school safety as the top priority — a core campaign promise. With police and county attorneys withholding new updates, the district is focused on preparing for the upcoming school year and restoring student learning.
