Waiver request submitted by Timothy Burbach, Helix Network of Educational Choices, Mentorship Academy HCS Baton Rouge Charter Schools, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2022 Tier 3 annual pfd 598 days late. |
|
Timothy S. Burbach serves on the board of directors for the Helix Network of Educational Choices. On 5/5/2023, his first year serving, the disclosure was submitted on time. He inadvertently failed to list the proper names for the corporate entities and listed "Helix Community Schools." Mr. Burbach received the amendment request, but failed to submit it because he believed the correspondence was a reminder or duplicate notice of the original disclosure.
Based on the Clear Search results, the LFO mailed on 2/28/2025 was sent to a Missouri address; that LFO was then mailed/forwarded to his Louisiana address on 8/8/2025. Mr. Burbach would like to make an appearance, as this misunderstanding was unintentional and stemmed from good faith that he was compliant. Mr. Burbach has since filed the amendment.
