Waiver request submitted by Chanel D Long, Crescent City Charter Schools, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 20 days late. |
|
|
Chanel D. Long serves on the Crescent City Schools (CCS) Board of Directors, a voluntary position. She did not receive the NOD, but it is possible the mailman didn't deliver the notice due to being afraid of Ms. Long's dog. Another possibility is that her 88-year-old grandmother signed. August was a challenging month for her grandmother after she lost her sister, and when she is stressed, she becomes forgetful. Ms. Long notes that delivery was evidently an issue, which is why the LFO was sent to her place of employment. The PFD was amended to include her husband's income, and she added her income for transparency. Her husband's IT position does not involve direct control over contracting, and to her knowledge, CCS does not have a contract with her husband's work division.
