ARVADA, Colo. — A social worker at several schools in Jeffco Public Schools is accused of a having sexual relationship with a juvenile who she met while working within the district, the Arvada Police Department said on Wednesday.
Chloe Castro, 28, was arrested Tuesday. According to police, the victim’s parents contacted them on Oct. 29 and presented evidence of a sexual relationship between Castro and their child. She was arrested on a charge of sexual assault on a child in a position of trust with a pattern of abuse.
Castro has served as a social worker since August at these schools:
- Manning Middle School
- Drake Middle School
- Wheat Ridge High School
She worked at Three Creeks K-8 as a school social worker from Jan. 4. 2022, to May 13, 2024, and at Columbine Hills and Leawood Elementary schools as a social-emotional learning specialist from Aug. 3, 2021, to Jan. 4, 2022.
According to police, Castro met the victim while working in the district. In a message to families, the district said the victim is a former Jeffco student.
The district said Castro is currently on administrative leave, which prohibits her from having any contact with Jeffco students, staff and families. The district said it’s taking steps to terminate her employment. Members of the district’s crisis response team will be available for support at the impacted schools.
No other victims have been identified; however, anyone who has information about Castro or feels they have been – or know someone who has been – victimized should call the Arvada Police tip line at 720-898-7171.
