| Waiver request submitted by Jerome Jordan, a member of the Intercultural Charter School of New Orleans, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Tier 3 annual pfd 547 days late. |
|
|
Intercultural Charter School of New Orleans' charter expired on June 30, 2013. Mr. Jordan states he was late filing due to his struggles to help keep the charter of the school. Since the school lost its charter, he assumed he no longer needed to file the pfd. During that time, Mr. Jordan states that he was a Court Appointed Special Advocate for two boys that were removed from their home. He now realizes he had too much on his plate.
