RE:
Waiver request submitted by Mr. Dana Dugas, Iberia Parish School Board, regarding a $850 late fee assessed for filing his 2025 School Board Disclosure 17 days late.
Facts:
J. Wayne Landry submitted a waiver on behalf of Dana Dugas. Mr. Dugas has been a board member since 11/15/2012 and has served two terms as Board president. He mistakenly believed that the new administrative office clerk filed the disclosure. It has since been filed. Please consider waiving or reducing the assessed late fee.
