RE:
PFD answer submitted by Daniel Stanford, former member of the Webster Parish School Board, in response to a notice of deliquency requesting he file his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd.
Facts:
Daniel Stanford was a member of the Webster Parish School Board. By May 15, 2012, he did not file a 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd. In July 2013, he was issued a notice of delinquency. In response, he submitted a timely answer stating that he has not served on the school board since 2009. According to the secretary of state's website, Mr. Stanford's term of office ended on December 31, 2010. According to the Webster Parish School Board minutes for its first meeting in 2011 held on January 18, 2011, Mr. Stanford's successor Brandon Edens was present and recognized as the sitting school board member. Mr. Stanford did not attend that meeting nor the meeting in December 2010.

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.
La. R.S. 42:1124.4 of the Code provides that upon discovery of the failure to file, failure to timely file, omission of information or inaccurate information, the Board shall notify the filer by sending him a notice of delinquency by certified mail. The notice of delinquency shall inform the person that the financial statement must be filed, or that the information must be disclosed or accurately disclosed, or that a written answer contesting the allegation of such failure, omission, or inaccuracy must be filed no later than seven (7) business days after receipt of the notice of delinquency.
