Richard Bates would like to submit a waiver request on behalf of Beverly Matheney for oversight in providing the 2020 Tier 3 PFD. Ms. Matheney resigned in June of 2020, halfway through her expected term to take care of elderly family members during the pandemic. She believed the disclosure filed in May of 2020 covered the 2019-2020 school year. Due to staffing and technical issues exacerbated by the pandemic, Ms. Matheney was not included in reminders to file when 2020 disclosures were due in May 2021. The disclosure has been submitted. Given her service to their school and acknowledge the personal pressures of caretaking for the elderly, they are hopeful that the fee will be waived.
