December 15, 2020 - 2:29 PM A former B.C. elementary school principal embroiled in a 2016 Creep Catchers sting won't likely teach again. Jason Alan Obert was found guilty of conduct unbecoming a teacher under the Teachers Act on July 29. This week a panel ruled that the Director of Certification will not reissue Obert a Certificate of Qualification, an Independent School Teaching Certificate or a Letter of Permission for a period of 15 years, reads a decision published online today, Dec. 15. "The panel has found that (Obert's) unbecoming conduct seriously undermined the public’s confidence in the education system, as well as the dignity and credibility of the teaching profession. The panel agrees with the Commissioner’s submission that for the purposes of general deterrence and to communicate to the public that conduct by an educator towards minors will not be tolerated, a lengthy ban on any re-issuance of a certificate to the Respondent should be imposed," reads the decision.
