RE:
Answer submitted by Richard Lawrence Abbrecht, Jr., board member of the Encore Academy Charter School, in response to a notice of delinquency regarding his 2014 Annual Tier 3 PFD
Facts:
Mr. Abbrecht received a notice of delinquency on October 23, 2015, requesting the he file his 2014 Tier 3 annual personal financial disclosure statement. An answer was timely filed by Mr. Abbrecht stating that he resigned from the charter school's board at least two years ago. He has provided documentation.
Law:
La. R.S. 42:1124.4 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.

La. R.S. 42:1124.2.1 requires financial disclosure by each person holding a public office who represents a voting district having a population of fewer than five thousand 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 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. However, if the holding of the office terminates in January, then she will not be required to file a financial statement the year following termination as long as she files a financial statement during the year in which the holding of the office terminates that includes the period she held the office that year.

Recommendations:
Inform Mr. Abbrecht that he is not required to file a Tier 3 2014 Personal Financial Disclosure statement.
