Waiver request submitted by Theresa Glenn, North Shore Charter School, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2019 Tier 3 annual pfd 204 days late. |

Ms. Glenn stated she was a newly elected board member and did not understand the disclosure filing requirements. The North Shore Charter School Board Secretary assisted her with her previous year's filing and she did not understand the disclosure was an annual requirement. Ms. Glenn stated she did not receive the Notice of Delinquency letter, and only learned about her delinquency once she was contacted by a BOE staff member. Once she was made aware of the missing amendment, she immediately corrected her report. Ms. Glenn thanks the Ethics Board for their consideration on this matter and would greatly appreciate if her penalty were waived.
