Waiver request submitted by Stephen "Steve" Tyler, Benjamin Franklin Charter High School Board, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd 451 days late. |
|
Dorothy Malik is submitting a waiver on behalf of her husband, Stephen Tyler. Mr. Tyler was on the AAEE Board at Ben Franklin High School in New Orleans, LA. In 2021, Ms. Malik discovered notices for the 2019 and 2020 disclosures in her husband's office. Mr. Tyler was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2015. Ms. Malik noticed some cognitive decline in recent years. Mr. Tyler has experienced anxiety, and although he intended to complete the form, he was unable to do so. Ms. Malik spoke with a school staff member who never called her back to let her know if the reports had been filed. A BOE representative later assisted her with filing and submitting the reports. However, she received a 2020 Late Fee Order because she inadvertently entered the incorrect year on the form. The PFD has been amended.
