RE:
Waiver request submitted by Tiffany J. Nelson, Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish Charter School Board, regarding a $150 late fee assessed for filing her 2021 Tier 3 annual pfd 6 days late.
Facts:
Tiffany Nelson is a Board member for Athlos Academy Jefferson Parish. The School Governance Coordinator, Jill Turrill, was responsible for submitting the annual disclosures. After receiving certified correspondence regarding her statements, Ms. Nelson took it upon herself to get the required documents in a timely manner. All of her statements have been submitted and she is current. She does not receive payment for her current position with Athlos Academy. She has medical and financial responsibilities that would be affected if she had to pay this late fee. Ms. Nelson would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
