Waiver request submitted by Donald Ray Dejean, member of both the J.S. Clark Leadership Academy Charter School Board and the St. Landry Parish Economic Industrial Development District, regarding a $300 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 6 days late. |

Mr. Dejean stated he was on a Charter School Board that required him to file a Tier 3, which he filed for years. Then he became a member of the St. Landry Economic Development Board, which required him to complete a Tier 2.1 disclosure. He was unaware of the higher tier level filing requirement until he spoke with a BOE's Compliance Officer. Once he spoke with the staff member he completed and submitted the correct tier form. Mr. Dejean stated he has dedicated his time and volunteers on boards within his community to ensure that policies and safeguards will benefit the area and make it more prosperous and safer for the people of St. Landry Parish.
