RE:
Waiver request submitted by Chantell Brown Clair, New Harmony High Charter School, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 71 days late.
Facts:
Chantell Brown Clair acknowledges receipt of the LFO and understands the importance of compliance. The delay in filing the amendment was not intentional. It resulted from administrative oversight and confusion about the need for an amendment after the original report was filed. Ms. Clair has always acted in good faith and made every effort to comply. After being made aware of the mishap, she filed the disclosure. Please waive or reduce the assessed late fee.
