| Waiver request submitted by Bonita Crawford, a member of the Caddo Parish School Board, regarding a $600 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2011 Tier 2 annual pfd amendment 6 days late and a $600 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2012 Tier 2 annual pfd amendment 6 days late. |

Ms. Crawford states that during the month of July, she had many things in her life happening: Her mother died, she was responsible for her mother's estate, and she had obligations with her church's bible school.
On September 18, 2013, a request for supporting documentation was sent to Ms. Crawford. The deadline for submitting the documentation was October 18, 2013. On September 23, 2013 Ms. Crawford submitted documentation of her mother's funeral program. In her letter she states that during this time she was also trying to select a superintendent for the school board and it has been an overwhelming time for her.
The amendments were seeking disclosure of income from the school board by exact dollar figure on Schedule D. The income was reported on Schedule E for both reports. The Board has consistently waived late fees with these types of amendments.
