RE:
Waiver request submitted by Stacy McLarrin Sharp, former member of the Beekman Charter School Board/ Morehouse Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her 2021 Tier 3 annual pfd 21 days late.
Facts:
Stacy McLarrin Sharp was unaware that she was late filing her disclosure. Once she received the delinquency notice, she spoke with a BOE representative. The paperwork was faxed over and verified to have been correctly submitted. After later receiving the LFO, Ms. Sharp broke her wrist and had to undergo surgery and therapy. Her daughter also had a baby. She has lived at her current address for the past 30 years but was informed that there has been trouble delivering any notices to her address. Ms. Sharp is attempting to do whatever is necessary to be cleared of any fines. Please waive the assessed late fee.

*Filer called on 2/28/2023, the due date following receipt of the NOD, she was informed that she was required to file the 2021 and 2022 disclosures.
