Waiver request submitted by Claude T. Bromley, III, former member of the GEO Academy Board Charter School Board, regarding a $200 late fee assessed for filing his 2019 Tier 3 annual pfd 4 days late. |

Mr. Bromley stated he notified Kevin Teasley, with GEO Academy School Board of his resignation in early 2018. However, when the BOE contacted GEO Academy, the school provided his resignation date effective January 2019. He is unsure about the date discrepancy other than it may have taken time for the school to complete the resignation acceptance paperwork. He ran out of room on his COX email storage and had to delete non-essential emails which included correspondence relating to his service on the board, so he has no proof of when he officially resigned. He did not receive any reminders from the school regarding the annual filing. Mr. Bromley stated he join the board to help the school start-up a local charter school focused on helping black and underprivileged kids get a better education. In addition to spending a great deal of time helping with the start-up, he personally donated $30,000 plus of his own money to GEO Academy. After serving on the board for several years, GEO was up and running successfully and unfortunately, his time commitments had spread him too thin and he felt it was best to resign.
