Waiver request submitted by Dawn Chanet Collins, a board member with the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board/District 4, regarding a $100 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2016 Tier 2 annual PFD 1 day late. |
|
Mr. Collins is asking a waiver based on these mitigating circumstances: over a year ago Ms. Collins grandson was born and two days later her son was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The transition was intense. Ms. Collins has helped her son manage his illness, as well as assist with her grandson. The strain affected her personal and professional affairs, which was the cause of the apparent mix-up on the deadline date for the PFD Amendment. Ms. Collins filed her amendment one day late and states that she recalls making every effort, despite the circumstance, to submit it prior to the deadline. She also states she is not sure if she miscalculated the deadline.
