Payment overview
1. The Galt House Hotel no longer accepts POs for payment. All reservations must be guaranteed with a credit card except for Option 4c, described below.

Credit Card information for reservations should be submitted by using the Credit Card Authorization form along with the group housing form.
2. Alternatively, the Galt House can provide a pro forma invoice to which your school can pay by check. If provided with the school’s state tax-exempt number, the Galt House will invoice the total cost with state taxes removed.

Option 4a. Galt House Group Housing Form (above) and pay with a credit card. Complete the Galt House Group Housing Form and Credit Card Authorization form and email to mdrury@ajshotels.com by January 18. Schools wishing to share rooms MUST arrange this with each other prior to submitting this form. The Galt House will split payment among schools sharing a room. When sharing with another school, teachers from both schools should fill out the group housing form, and for the shared rooms each teacher should include the names of the students from both schools. The hotel can then properly bill each school and can merge students according to the teachers’ request.
Option 4b. Complete the Galt House Group Housing Form (above) with plans to pay with check upon arrival To pay with check upon arrival, complete the Galt House Group Housing Form and the Credit Card Authorization form and email to mdrury@ajshotels.com by January 18. Be sure to select “Check upon arrival” as final payment on page one of the group housing form. Otherwise, the credit card listed on the credit card authorization form may be charged.
Option 4c. Complete the Galt House Group Housing Form and await a pro forma invoice, then send a check in advance (this is the only way to avoid the use of a credit card to reserve rooms) To guarantee the reservation without the use of a credit card, complete the Galt House Group Housing Form and email to mdrury@ajshotels.com by January 18. Mary Drury will then email you a pro forma invoice, the purpose of which is to quote the exact amount that will be owed. If the form is provided with the school’s tax exempt number, the quoted rate will be minus state tax. You may then mail a check in that amount with another copy of the Galt House Group Housing Form before January 18 to confirm the reservation. If you select this option you need to follow up with your school bookkeeper after requesting the check, as the reservation will be cancelled after January 18 and you will not be guaranteed lodging.

List of Schools Wanting to Share All-State Housing
Please email tony@kmea.org to request inclusion on the List of Schools Wanting to Share All-State Housing. Schools wishing to share housing must arrange for this with other schools prior to making hotel reservations or submitting housing forms. Directors may wish to access the All-State rosters found online in the KMEA Information Center to determine whether other schools may have uneven numbers of male of female students that would fill out incomplete rooms. Due to time constraints, the KMEA office staff cannot assist with the search for other schools to pair with.
