Waiver request submitted by Lakeisha White Robichaux, Idea Public Schools Southern Louisiana, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2018 Tier 3 annual pfd 8 days late. |
|
Lakeisha W. Robichaux is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Ms. Robichaux stated she was made aware of the amendment around December 30, 2020. She completed and mailed the document the next day. She had been working between a home office and offsite office due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The amendment (along with many other pieces of mail) were brought to her office and placed on a staff member's desk. Unfortunately, she did not receive the NOD until late December, as the staff member was out of the office due to COVID. Ms. Robichaux stated this has not been an issue in the past. However, due to constant transitions, the amendment was not given to her in time.
