[pianotech] Malpractice insurance for working for a school district

[Dean May]

I hate tuning for schools. I have a few rural schools that I tune for that
give me no problems. Some are really great customers. But often you run into
this kind of stuff. Be sure you charge accordingly if you decide to continue
keeping them as customers. 

Your client list should be sacrosanct. I would never share that info with
them.

So I have been working for a school district for a couple of years.  All of
a sudden, when I turn in my invoice, they say they can't pay it until I send
them "some paperwork".  The paperwork is a request for my business license
number, my client list, and a contract.  Item number seven says:
 
  7. All Contractors providing services to minors must have valid
malpractice insurance coverage.  Upon request by  SCHOOL DISTRICT contractor
must be able to show evidence of such coverage.
 
I've never had malpractice insurance--except for dispensing hearing aids.
Does anyone else
 
Does anyone know why question marks suddenly stop working---
 
Thanks    (exclamation points don't work either)
