Waiver request submitted by Tonya M. Williams, Collegiate Academies Charter School Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2018 Tier 3 annual PFD 91 days late. |
|
Tonya M. Williams is requesting a waiver for the late filing of her 2018 PFD Statement for the following reasons:
Ms. Williams stated she completed her disclosure and sent it to the Collegiate Academy on April 29, 2019, two weeks prior to the May 15, 2019 deadline. Ms. Williams stated she has filed her annual disclosure in this manner each year since being on the board and has never had a late filing before. However, due to a clerical error, the Collegiate Academy did not submit her disclosure to the BOE. Once aware of the missing PFD, her disclosure was uploaded and the board chair, Stephen Rosenthal submitted an email explaining why the disclosure was late. Ms. Williams said that this is the first time a Collegiate Board member has ever received a delinquency notice. Ms. Williams thanks the Ethics Board for considering waiving her late fee.
