Waiver request submitted by Charles "Chuck" Edward Toney, Jr., Discovery Health Sciences Foundation Charter School, regarding a $125 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd 5 days late. |

|
Since joining the school board, this is the first time Charles E. Toney Jr. has had to request a waiver. The late filing occurred during the pandemic in 2021 while he was managing a large organization at his day job. Mr. Toney notes it was a failure to disclose income from his primary job as a Judicial Administrator, which was not a contract position, but a full-time position. When he received the amendment request, initially accepted by his 15-year-old daughter during a separation from the household, he submitted the information 5 days late. Mr. Toney states this is a difficult time for a family of 5 with a child in college, high school, and elementary school, and only one source of income since his wife lost her job in November. If the board would kindly consider this request for a waiver, his family would be very grateful.
