Waiver request submitted by Judith "Judy" Goodwyne-Miranti, Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, regarding a $2500.00 late fee assessed for filing her 2015 Tier 2 annual pfd 1250 days late. |

Mrs. Judy
Miranti is requesting a Waiver Request for the late filing of her final Tier 2
PFD Statement.
Dr.
Miranti stated she inadvertently filed a Tier 2.1 Report instead of a Tier 2. She
stated she served on the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education until January
2016. When she was not reappointed, she thought she did not have to file for
2016. Once notified that she needed to submit a Tier 2 for 2016, she filed Tier
2.1 PFD instead. On January 2, 2020, while returning from
visiting Naples, Fla for Christmas, she received a Ring Alert. After watching
the Ring Alert playback video, she learned it was a state trooper attempting to
deliver a packet. She called Troop B and was informed she could pick up the
packet from the failed attempt. The packet was the BOE several attempts to
notify her of the late fee.
Dr.
Miranti stated she never intended not to file the disclosure statement. She
respectfully requests the Ethics Board to consider her waiver request and would
appreciate appearing before the Board to discuss my case. She stated she will
do whatever is needed in order to be in compliant.
In a phone
conversation on 2/10/2020, Mrs. Miranti stated she never received the 2015
NOD-FF which was mailed to the Xavier University address. The NOD-FF Green Card
was signed by a Tiffany Washingston. Mrs. Miranti said she does not know a
person by that name, but it could have been a University Staff Member or
Student Worker.
