" , the District Clerk has informed one potential applicant that his application would not be accepted since it was delivered to the District office six hours after the deadline. On Friday, July 10 , the District Clerk had to reinterate in the late afternoon the Board' s 5 :00 P.M. deadline to another potential applicant.
