We're in FL and have been required in our county to have JLA (Jessica Lunsford Act) security badges. We've done both in-school and drop-offs for schools. The critical thing to remember is that children's safety is always at the forefront of the school. So before we paid to get the badges, we would educate the school that child safety is a priority, and we'd let them know if any prints are left, we destroy them or pass them to a school representative.
Schools are also usually tax-exempt, so we mention that on the call for more cost savings. We make sure to obtain their tax-exempt paperwork before signing a contract.
Elementary schools are often really good. When it comes to sending the digital photos, ask the teacher's permission to send photos to her school email and the teacher can disseminate to parents.
I recently encountered a unique situation while trying to secure a booking with a high school in the San Fernando Valley. They required a specific type of liability insurance coverage - "rape and molestation" protection - that I didn't currently have. This was a first for me in my 11+ years in the photo booth business. While I've always maintained liability insurance, adding this specific coverage would require a separate policy with an average annual cost of $3,000, according to my agent. Given the high cost for a single event, I decided not to pursue the opportunity at this time. Although I understand the potential for future bookings with this additional coverage, it's simply not something I can afford right now.
@hustlewithdrew I swear you guys are like the phones that listen in on conversations lol I was literally discussing getting into working with schools and corporate clients. Good stuff as always! Thank you
