Waiver request submitted by Stephen G. Roberts, Magnolia School of Excellence Charter School Board, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 42 days late. |

Stephen G. Roberts is a trustee of Charter Schools USA in Shreveport, LA. He received the FTF notice and attempted to file the disclosure online, but it was not received before the deadline. Mr. Roberts informed a BOE representative that he would be out of town for several weeks before he could respond to the request again. He filed the disclosure after returning from Europe and later received a late fee. Mr. Roberts states that his right hand is disabled, so that is proof he did not sign for the notice. It was placed in his mailbox.
