I discovered a great way to deal with slow-paying institutions (record labels, recording studios, and yes... schools) ages ago. You charge them a premium rate from the beginning, then write "15% discount if paid within terms" on the invoice. They're then more motivated to pay on time. If they don't, you'll at least have been paid a bit extra their having gone beyond terms.
