RE:
Waiver request submitted by Paul Saville Kent, East Feliciana Parish School Board, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 School Board Disclosure 8 days late.
Facts:
Paul S. Kent stated after receiving his SBD NOD-FF letter he checked his records and realized he had not successfully uploaded his 2022 School Board Disclosure. After running unopposed in the re-election, he called the BOE and spoke to someone in the CF Department, not realizing he also needed to talk to someone in the PFD Department in regard to his other reports. Mr. Kent stated he has never filed any of his disclosures or reports late and asks the Ethics Board to waive his fine.
