RE:
Waiver request submitted by Jucynthia Jessie, Young Audiences Charter School, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her 2022 Tier 3 annual pfd 245 days late.
Facts:
Jucynthia Jessie believes this fee was assessed in error. She was removed from the Board in 2022 due to her decision to withdraw her son from the school. She thinks she should not be held responsible for a disclosure for a period during which she was no longer serving. Ms. Jessie relocated after her tenure on the Board, so if there were any attempts to reach her, they were sent to her previous address. During her tenure, the documents for the disclosures were provided to her for completion. However, she did not receive anything after her departure. Ms. Jessie believes this fine is unjust and unwarranted. Please waive the assessed late fee.
