Waiver request submitted by Carlos Enrique Harvin, with Charter Schools USA - Lafayette Charter Foundation, regarding a $300 late fee assessed for filing his 2018 Tier 3 annual pfd 6 days late. |
|
Carlos Harvin is requesting a waiver of $300 late fee for the following reasons:
Mr. Harvin stated he has had several family related matters that occupied his time before the statement was due. However, two key events caused him to miss the May 15th deadline for submitting his Tier 3 Annual Disclosure. Mr. Harvin stated he lost his father on February 21, 2019 and had to travel to Florida for his burial on March 16, 2019. He stated that dealing with his fathers loss caused a shift in his focus which detracted him from other duties. He also stated his youngest daughter graduated from high school in May 2019 and was taken to LSUE for open house on May 15, 2019. His number one focus was making sure that his daughter had everything she needed to finalize a college decision. Mr. Harvin asks the Board to consider his request for a waiver. This is Mr. Harvin's first late fee.
