Hello New York Trip families!
We are happy to report that you should be receiving a refund check the week after Labor Day. Educational Tours (ET)
issued the school a lump sum check for the amount they have recovered so far. The school district will issue
individual refunds for this installment. As indicated in the August 4th blog post, ET is waiting on the possibility
of recovering an additional $9,393.45 from one of the vendors. If they receive those funds, that portion
will be returned directly to you via a separate check from ET.
IF YOU'VE HAD AN ADDRESS CHANGE SINCE APRIL, please email me your new address by Monday, August 24th:
ALLEGOEL@HOWELLSCHOOLS.
check out to and where to mail the check. IF none of your info has changed since April, you are all set!
REFUND BREAKDOWN:
$733.58 per person - refund check issued to you by Howell Schools week of September 8th.
$ 66.15 per person - amount that ET is hoping to still receive from one vendor. IF they receive these funds, a
check will be issued directly from ET to you.
NON-REFUNDABLE BREAKDOWN:
$ 36.33 - 3.5% service fee
$201.94 - non-refundable deposits and expenses
For those that purchased the travel insurance:
You will receive your refund along with non-insurance participants as stated above. Your insurance will cover
a percentage of the cost that ET is NOT able to refund. Once ET has closed our account, they will forward your
insurance claim to Travel Insured International. After your claims have been filed, an insurance reimbursement
amount will be available and passed on to those that have travel insurance.
Please let me know if you have any questions. We are happy to have some definitive answers and good news
for you! - Laura
