P721R The Richard H. Hungerford School

Hungerford School presents ‘The Wizard of Oz

Dear UA-participating teachers, parent coordinators, and principals,

We write with the unfortunate news that Urban Advantage must suspend its voucher program for the rest of this school year (through June 30th, 2023). Emerging from the pandemic, Urban Advantage vouchers have surged in popularity. Every redeemed UA voucher is paid for through UA’s budget, and the unprecedented popularity of the vouchers greatly exceeded forecasts, resulting in UA budget being unable to meet demand for vouchers.

We recognize this will cause hardship and disappointment in our community. Unfortunately, there are no alternate sources of funding for UA vouchers at this time. All other aspects of the Urban Advantage program will continue unchanged, without interruption.

Urban Advantage is funded yearly, and we will resume Urban Advantage vouchers in the 2023-24 school year, with modifications to avoid repeating this occurrence. We deeply regret the inconvenience to our UA families and schools, whom we work hard to support.

If you have an existing reservation at one of our partner institutions, please reach out to them directly for an update on the status of your reservation. Contact information is provided below. We will be sending you a summary of how to visit UA institutions at no cost or low cost.

We are deeply committed to providing access to our partner institutions.  This is a very hard decision for Urban Advantage. Please be assured that UA’s voucher program will resume in the next school year.

Sincerely yours,

The UA Team

Each student and staff member brings to our school community the richness of our city’s cultural diversity and the desire for respect. We are committed to promoting respect for diversity among students and between students and staff so that all of our students continue to feel valued, safe, and supported. From February 13-17, 2023, your child participated in our Respect for All week activities and had an amazing time demonstrating acts of kindness focused on social emotional learning.
