## Resource

Arizona’s schools are in crisis mode, with scandals shaking trust from Peoria to Chandler to Buckeye. Peoria Unified faces criminal probes over alleged teacher abuse at Centennial High, while Chandler Unified drew fire for failing to report grooming risks. Meanwhile, Isaac Elementary is under state receivership after overspending $20 million, and Buckeye’s superintendent was overpaid $1.7 million. These failures—financial and ethical—expose deep flaws in oversight, demanding accountability and transparency to protect students and taxpayer dollars.
