Oregon equestrian coach likely author of own investigation March 10 2021
Oregon City High School official convicted of self-dealing appears to provide comments for herself in a defense purportedly written by athletic director.
The Oregon City High School equestrian coach who was recently convicted on violations of state law related to self-dealing appears to have written portions of the athletic director s investigatory report that led to the school board s decision not to fire her.
State officials have already said it was alarming that no red flags were raised for the school district in its consideration about whether to retain Angie Wacker as coach. OCHS Athletic Director Andy Jones investigative report provides evidence for just how many school officials missed several potential warnings.

Reader angered, saddened by OCHS equestrian coach s violations
gh School equestrian coach Angie Wacker s recent conviction of four ethics violations for a few reasons. I d heard whispers throughout the years about a bad-faith actor in the local 4-H horse community. Since I am not an equestrian, I had no idea at the time who it pertained to.
My interest was undeniably peaked when Pamplin Media Group subsequently printed the stories of the two former Oregon High School Equestrian Team (OHSET) athletes, Abigail Norton and Ashley Maestas, each describing different, but grueling, experiences on the OHSET team under this same coach (including major injuries). I contacted the Oregon Government Ethics Commission and requested a copy of the materials for myself, since they are all available to the public (with names of the minors redacted), and was absolutely stunned by what I read. I highly encourage anyone who is curious about this case to request a copy for yourself.

District officials undergoing separate investigations by the Oregon Department of Education and the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission.
Oregon government ethics commissioners have found that the coach of Oregon City High School s equestrian team since 2014 has been using her position to obtain financial benefits for her unregistered business.
State ethics commissioners voted unanimously on Jan. 29 to determine that OCHS Equestrian Coach Angie Wacker violated state statutes regarding prohibited uses of her official position and failed to file her statements of economic interest as a public official. Ethics commissioners will later determine civil penalties up to $5,000 for each of Wacker s four law violations.
