RE:
Request that the Board reconsider its decision to decline to waive the $500 late fee assessed against Raymond Todd Riley, Sr., former member of the Concordia Parish School Board / District 2, for filing his 2022 Tier 3 annual pfd 252 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Riley stated he spoke with a staff member and thought everything was taken care of and he did not know he needed to file.

Initial Waiver Request


Raymond Riley did not submit his disclosure timely because he believed it had already been submitted. After speaking with a BOE representative, there was some confusion regarding the 2022 School Board Disclosure for his family member, Caissidy Riley. Mr. Riley's term ended on 12/31/2022. He realized the confusion after receiving the Late Fee Order. This is Mr. Riley's first time filing untimely and receiving a fine. Please waive the assessed late fee.
