| Waiver request submitted by Willie Expose "Toni" Breaux, Washington Parish School Board - City of Bogalusa Schools, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her 2025 School Board Disclosure 10 days late. |

Willie Breaux did not get notice from the superintendent's administrative assistant that the disclosure was due. The administrative assistant is responsible for keeping up with and disseminating all material to the school board members. She was promoted to a new position, and her replacement had no prior experience. In addition, the post office did not deliver the NOD on time. Ms. Breaux was home when the notice was delivered, but it was left near the front door instead of the mailbox. She immediately faxed the disclosure after receiving the notice. This happened with the LFO as well. Ms. Breaux takes her position seriously and would like to apologize for the mishap. Please waive the assessed late fee.
