RE:
Waiver request submitted by Carolyn G. McCall, former member of the New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy Charter School Board, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing her 2021 Tier 3 annual pfd 16 days late.
Facts:
Carolyn G. McCall served on the New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy for ten years and always filed her reports in a timely manner. She resigned in 2021, at the age of 80 due to vision issues and to take care of her ailing husband. With her sight progressively diminishing, she requires help to manage her bills and matters such as this letter. She cannot always get to things quickly and is at the mercy of friends and family. It was not her intention to disregard the notice to file. Ms. McCall hopes that you will understand and would like to respectfully request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
