Waiver request submitted by William Jackson McGrew, Ecole Pointe-Au-Chien Board of Directors, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2023 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 146 days late. |

William Jackson McGrew was appointed in March 2023, and his subsequent election as Board President has been an honor. While moving to a new apartment, he listed his parents' address as his own. He never received the NOD and does not know whether it was misplaced or never delivered. Mr. McGrew realized the 2023 PFD needed to be filed while filing the 2024 PFD. Mr. McGrew regrets this mistake, and it will not happen again. Paying this fine would be financially challenging, as he has invested his savings in his work revitalizing Louisiana culture. He would like to thank you for your consideration.
