Re: Can a school override or give exceptions to the no-CC law?

Ruark wrote:My wife teaches some evening classes in a local school building. The building is owned and operated by the local school district, and during the daytime has come alternative education classes for some local middle and high school students, as well as some adult ed classes (GED, ESL, etc.). So obviously, it's illegal to carry there.

Sometimes at night, however, she is COMPLETELY alone in that building, with just 3 or 4 young female students. They lock the front door, but it's still pretty vulnerable. The program director just put up 06 and 07 signs, which of course aren't necessary.

I usually go in soon after dark to pick her up, sometimes as late as 10pm. It makes me nervous; it's VERY dark all around the building, and its surrounded on two sides by thick urban forest.

Can the program director give me permission to CC when I pick her up? Seems like I've read of some school principals getting permission to keep firearms in their offices, or something similar. But I don't recall seeing anything in the code about schools being able to override the prohibition.
My CHL instructor informed the teacher in my class that she just had to speak to the principle and that it was up to him because he was the governing body of the school or something along those lines. I wasn't really paying too much attention to his answer but long story short I do remember him specifically saying that it was up to the principle.
