## Jeffco Public Schools Official Found Dead Amid Child Sex Abuse Investigation
David Weiss, former Chief of Schools for Jeffco Public Schools in Colorado, was found dead on January 1, 2025, in Washington County, Maryland. His death comes amidst an ongoing criminal investigation into allegations of possessing child sexual assault material, a case that has sent shockwaves through the Colorado educational community. Weiss, terminated from his position on December 19, 2024, was reportedly visiting family in Maryland when he died. Preliminary reports from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office suggest suicide, pending an autopsy. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the investigation into Weiss and stated it will continue despite his death. Details surrounding the evidence and timeline of events remain scarce.
Weiss had a 19-year career in public education, serving as principal of Westgate Elementary School and a high school assistant principal before becoming Chief of Schools in February 2022. In this role, he oversaw the district’s Department of School Leadership, a significant position within Jeffco Public Schools, one of Colorado’s largest districts with over 77,000 students. His responsibilities included developing strategies for student achievement and school effectiveness across 155 schools.
The allegations against Weiss are unfortunately part of a troubling pattern within Jeffco Public Schools. In 2024, several district employees faced arrests on charges related to sexual misconduct with minors. This has led to growing frustration and concern among parents, who cite a perceived lack of transparency and proactive measures from district officials in addressing these incidents. The resulting outcry demands increased safety measures and greater transparency, questioning the district’s employee vetting procedures and response to safeguarding students. The district’s silence, citing law enforcement directives, has further fueled public mistrust.
The investigation into Weiss’s actions will continue, and his death does not diminish the scrutiny facing Jeffco Public Schools. This tragedy underscores the critical need for robust policies to ensure student safety and maintain public trust in educational institutions. The district’s community anxiously awaits answers and accountability from both law enforcement and school leadership.
