14 OPLNION
Q By committing the act of Harassment Jeﬁrey Paul Hollamon raised sen-ions concerns
16 about his ﬁtness to serve as an educator. Under ORS 342.175 and OAR 584. Division
17 20, the Commission may suspend or revoke the license and educator who was
18 convicted of a crime when such crime has a bearing on the person's ability to fulﬁll
19 the responsibilities of a licensed position. In that this incident occurred on school
20 property, at a school-sponsored activity, and in the presence of school—age children.
21 the incident is deemed relevant to licensure. Parents and the public expect educators
22 to serve as good role models as law abiding citizens. The fact that Mr. Hollamon has
23 entered a compromise agreement to have the conviction set aside does not alter the
24- relevance of the incident for licensure.
25 ULTIMATE FINDINGS or FACT 1
26 On January 16.1996. Jeﬁrey Paul Hollamon pled no contest to the charge of
27 Harassment in Washington County District Court. On August 29, 1996. Hollamon's
28 please of "no contest" was set aside by the Washington County Circuit Court based
29 upon a civil compromise agreement with the injured party. '
