RE:
Waiver request submitted by Amanda Temple McKinney, West Feliciana Parish School Board, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing her 2021 School Board Disclosure 367 days late and regarding a $100 late fee assessment for filing her 2022 School Board Disclosure 2 days late.
Facts:
Amanda Temple McKinney stated she has served on the board for 21 years, and the previous board secretary would always place the school board disclosure in the chair before the due date. However, there is a new board secretary and turning in the form was an oversight on both of their parts, as she is now the only school board member with immediate family still employed within the school district.
