| Appearance in connection with a waiver request submitted by Broderick Bagert, Jr., a former member of the Morris Jefferson Community Charter School Board, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 304 days late. |

|
Mr. Bagert states that he thought he received the notice of delinquency in error as he had resigned from the Board. He states he called and left a message with the staff that he had resigned. Mr. Bagert states it was not until he received the "second notice" regarding his failure to file that he looked back at his records and realized he had served on the Charter School Board for several months during 2011. He says the failure to file resulted from his mistaken memory and was an oversight. He states he works for a nonprofit and the late fee would create a financial hardship.
