John "Carroll" Cathey, Sr., resigned in November 2021 and subsequently moved to Texas. During this time, correspondence from Louisiana was sent to his son, John Cathey, Jr. So, John Cathey, Sr. was unaware of the notices or communications forwarded by the BOE. Furthermore, he was confused regarding the distinction between PFD and CF reporting, which contributed to oversight during fiscal years. He has since rectified all outstanding issues and would like to thank you for your consideration of this matter.
