RE:
Waiver request submitted by John D. Calhoun, PhD., James M Singleton Charter School, regarding a $1250 late fee assessed for filing his 2015 Tier 3 annual pfd 25 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Calhoun stated that he is not sure if he received previous notices that were issued because he spends 90% of his time in his Houston and/or Dallas, Texas Office. He states that he has not been active on the board for approximately two years. For that reason, he states that he plans to resign from the board immediately.

  • The NOD was sent to the address on file, i.e., 400 Poydras, Suite 1335, New Orleans, LA (green card signature is not legible).
  • Calhoun provided a different address on February 20, 2017, i.e., 126 Amite Street, Jackson, MS.
  • The late fee was sent to the Amite Street address (green card not returned to the agency as of this date).
  • The request for waiver provided another address change, i.e., Twin Lakes Drive.
  • The database record has been updated.
