RE:
Waiver request submitted by Russell Flint, member of the Caldwell Parish School Board, regarding a $150 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 3 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Flint resigned from the school board in October 2012 since he moved out of his district. He has been receiving lots of mail from the school board association and accidently placed the notice of delinquency to the side not realizing the time sensitivity. It was an oversight on his part to fail to properly disclose his income on the schedule.

DATE NOD RECEIVED: April 5, 2013
DATE REPORT FILED: April 19, 2013
DAYS LATE: 3 days

ASSESSED LATE FEE: $150

Law:
La. R.S. 42:1124.3 requires persons holding a public office who represent a voting district having a population of less than 5,000 and each member of the governing authority or management board of a charter school created pursuant to Chapter 42 of Title 17 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 to file a financial disclosure statement on or before May 15th of each year during which the person holds office and the year following termination of the holding of such office.
