Eduprize Schools released a statement on Aug. 1, 2025.

Law enforcement is investigating the parent teacher network at a charter school in Queen Creek.

The parent teacher organization for Eduprize Charter Schools in Queen Creek posted on Facebook that law enforcement is conducting an investigation into financial matters related to prior members’ activity.

The group has since elected all new leadership and changed its name.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it’s conducting a theft investigation but could not provide further details.

The parent teacher organization is not doing interviews but shared meeting minutes that indicate the former president was removed for failure to fulfill duties and the new board intends to conduct a full financial review.

The school did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
