Waiver request submitted by Kamala Shantrell Baker, with the Morris Jeff Community Charter School, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2014 Tier 3 annual pfd 424 days late. |

Ms. Baker stated that she did not sign for the NOD and it was only brought to her attention when a marshal served her with another set of papers. She stated that the Apricot Street address is rental property and the tenant failed to notify her of the certified mail. A review of the NOD's green card receipt shows Ms. Bakers signature.
Ms. Baker also stated that the imposition of a late fee would create a financial hardship. Correspondence was sent to Ms. Baker requesting that she provide supporting documentation.
