Jefferson County, Colorado – David Weiss, the former Chief of Staff for Jefferson County Public Schools (Jeffco), has tragically passed away on January 2, 2025.
Weiss’s sudden death has shocked the local community, especially parents within the school district.
According to reports, Weiss died by suicide amid an ongoing criminal investigation.
He had been dismissed from his position as Chief of Staff on December 19, 2024, following a meeting of the Jefferson County School Board.
This termination occurred while an active investigation by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department was underway, though the school district has not shared specific details.
“It’s clear that something significant transpired if it led to an instant termination,” remarked Trevor Flint, a parent within the district.
The investigation and Weiss’s passing have sparked concern and speculation among local residents, especially after several troubling incidents involving arrests of school personnel in recent months.
The district has yet to comment further on the circumstances surrounding Weiss’s death, and memorial services will be announced by his family in the coming weeks.
