RE:
Waiver request submitted by Tan'Keia Palmer, Natchitoches Parish School Board, District 2, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2021 Tier 3 annual pfd 41 days late.
Facts:
Tan'Kei Palmer's late filing was an oversight due to her busy schedule and rushing. She did not thoroughly read the entire notice and overlooked the ten-day deadline. Ms. Palmer has been a school board member since 2019 and takes her position seriously. She has never been fined or cited for anything. She ensures this mishap will not happen again and asks that you show favor in this case.
