RE:
Waiver request regarding a $200 late fee assessed to Carroll Daniels for filing his 2010-2011 school board disclosure report 4 days late.
Facts:
Carroll Daniels was required to file a school board disclosure statement with 30 days of the first day of school for the 2010-2011 school year. The disclosure statement was not filed until September 2011. However, a notice of delinquency was not issued to Mr. Daniels within four (4) days of the report due date. As such, Mr. Daniels was only assessed a $200 late, representing the four days late. Further, once Mr. Daniels did receive a notice of delinquency, he promptly filed the required report.

Comments:
TYPE OF REPORT: School Board Disclosure Statement
DAYS LATE: 4 days
ASSESSED LATE FEE: $200

OTHER LATE FILINGS: No

Law:
La. R.S. 42:1119B(2)(a)(iii) requires that within thirty days after the beginning of each school year, any school board member or superintendent whose immediate family member is employed by the school board shall file a disclosure statement with the Board of Ethics stating the facts of such employment. Any person who fails to timely file a disclosure statement may be assessed a late fee of fifty dollars per day, not to exceed $1,500.

Recommendations:
Pursuant to the waiver guidelines, waive the late fee.

Assigned Attorney: Tracy Barker
