Colorado School Administrator Fired Amid Child Pornography Allegations Found Dead

[Federalist] David Weiss, the fired Colorado school administrator at the center of a criminal investigation kept secret by authorities, was found dead, and the county sheriff’s office finally clarified that he was under investigation for allegedly possessing child pornography materials.

Weiss, the former chief of staff of Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), was reported dead by the sheriff’s department in Washington County, Maryland, on Jan. 1. An investigation into the circumstances of his death remains underway. The sheriff’s office said he "was found dead around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday morning" and his death is believed to be a suicide. At the time of his death, Weiss was reportedly away from his Colorado home visiting family in Maryland.

Weiss was fired last month under unknown circumstances, and parents in the county sought clarification from the school district about why he had suddenly been fired and a criminal investigation opened. The school district refused to answer their questions, with multiple parents telling CBS News that the district terminated Weiss abruptly and without explanation, leading to a "lack of trust" in the school administrators.

Upon Weiss’s death, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department finally disclosed that the investigation was into possession of child pornography material. According to CBS, the criminal investigation is still ongoing, despite Weiss’s death.

#1 Easy enough to give anybody (teachers, medical personnel, administrators, police, popsicle truck drivers, drag queens, firemen ...) to be certified for work with children an annual poly. Ask them about terror memberships too.

Oh. Sorry about the dead guy.

#3 #1 Easier yet to give them all an annual test on the subject they're teaching and fire the failures.

#4 ...an annual test on the subject they're teaching

The problem with that is all the non-subject matter (white guilt, DEI, etc.) that they're required to teach now. Almost takes more time to teach than the actual course materials.

That and the 'canned' classroom materials that are required by the district (and the unions so that no knowledge of the subjects is actually required), therefore that no actual objective teaching or innovation by the teacher is allowed anymore.

#5 Mullah, I've taught high school (math, chemistry, life-sciences). Believe me, most of the teachers couldn't pass the standard competence exams.

#6 couldn't pass the standard competence exams.

The trailing daughters went to one of the better public school districts in the state of Ohio (also the biggest non-city district, which is why they can afford to offer all sorts of extras that kick up their ranking). The td’s elementary school was one of many in the district that had a Department of Education blue ribbon, with extra awards for the PTA-run science program. But the reason our engineer/scientist/health profession parents got involved was because one of our engineer moms noticed that the top sixth grade teacher was teaching the electricity unit wrong — specifically she was reversing the definitions of direct and indirect current, which meant the experiment meant to show the difference didn’t work. The parents got together and got a grant for lab supplies (Toyota used to have a wonderful science grant program in the 1990s, but surely other companies could be persuaded if they aren’t still doing it), got permission to turn a spare classroom into a dedicated science lab, got agreement on curriculum-appropriate lesson plans for each grade, and took over. We allowed the teachers to keep the kids in order, but we made sure the subject matter was taught truly. ;-)
