Waiver request submitted by Melvin Raymond Landry, III, University Preparatory Elementary School Charter School Board, regarding a $125 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2019 Tier 3 annual pfd 5 days late. |

Mr. Landry stated he was impacted by Hurricane Ida (landfall date of 8/29/2021). During the time of receiving the notice to amend (on 9/7/2021), he was without power for two weeks and doing an extensive home cleanup, which continues to this day. Despite the challenges he and his family faced due to the hurricane's impact, out of good faith he completed the disclosure but unfortunately submitted the form 5 days late. Mr. Landry apologizes for his delinquency and asks the Ethics Board to waive his fine.
