RE:
Waiver request submitted by Kent Lee Bockhaus, Bossier Parish School Board / District 2, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2 annual pfd 286 days late.
Facts:
Kent Lee Bockhaus is 74 and says his only excuse for filing untimely is that he believed the disclosure had been filed. It was not intentional. This was the only time he hadn't filed on time in six years. His training has been completed without missing a deadline. Mr. Brockhaus stated that he is not a professional politician but a retired citizen attempting to make a difference in the Bossier parish education system. Please take his word that this will never happen again. Mr. Bockhaus would like to request a waiver.
