Oregon City High School coach guilty of ethics violations February 22 2021
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.
