Board Director Tanya Carroll for the Audubon Library covered St. Helena and East Feliciana parishes, and she never received compensation. Her son was injured, which required surgery in September and November 2020. On 11/27/2022, her son was wounded, which caused intense depression. Ms. Carroll had no knowledge of the BOE or why she received notifications, so she discarded them and continued caring for her son. She failed to take heed until she received the LFO subpoena and contacted a BOE representative for assistance.
