| Request that the Board waive a $200 campaign finance late fee assessed against Cheryl Knott, in her capacity as a candidate for Member of School Board, District 9, St. Martin Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 5 days late. |

Cheryl Knott states that she was overwhelmed and somehow misunderstood the instructions regarding the final general report. She understood it was due by December 6, 2018, instead of November 28, 2018. She states this was her second election but her first time filing campaign finance reports. She asks that the Board please reconsider the payment of $200.00 and excuse her actions. In the future, she states she promises to be more observant of due dates and actions on her behalf.
