RE:
Waiver request submitted by Robert "Pete" Allen Cavenah, Allen Parish School Board, regarding a $450 late fee assessed for filing his 2024 School Board Disclosure 9 days late.
Facts:
Robert "Pete" Allen Cavenah disclosed his wife's occupation with the school board. He assumed that was sufficient but later realized an additional form was needed to disclose her position with the Allen Parish School Board. Mr. Cavenah did not receive his reminder, but he does take his filing responsibilities seriously and is committed to complying with all necessary regulations. He appreciates your understanding and would like to request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
