Kelley Lance Courville believed that the secretary of the board had been submitting her disclosures. She later realized that she had only been retaining them for internal audit purposes, and it was her responsibility to submit them herself. This was not an intentional omission. Moving forward, she will hand-deliver her disclosures. As a volunteer board member of Ecole Saint-Landry, she is focused on providing educational opportunities and support in an underserved rural community. Ms. Courville cannot afford to pay the fine and would like to request a waiver.
