Waiver request submitted by Maureen Joseph, former member of the Milestone SABIS Academy of New Orleans, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2016 Tier 3 annual pfd 169 days late and regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd 453 days late. |

Maureen Joseph stated she volunteered for two charter school boards to utilize her skills in serving the community and creating opportunities for children and families who have been marginalized in terms of education. She stated she dedicated countless hours to ensure that the schools were operational, which was overwhelming and exhausting. Ms. Joseph humbly asks for your grace and leniency in this matter. She would like to have the fees waived since they are expensive, especially considering that she was not compensated for her services. She feels penalized for volunteering, and the penalty serves as a deterrent.
