You said that several other teachers also shoot. Could y'all meet at a nearby shopping center and then take one (gun free) car the last little bit to the school?

If someone posts a 30.06 sign at the entrance to a parking lot, it would not be binding to someone with a LTC, UNLESS that parking lot belongs to a school district, chemical plant, etc. If that big ugly sign is posted in the entrance to the School district lot, NO LTC person can have a gun in their car. What the Principal said was true since the parking lots are not posted. You on the other hand have received verbal notice and that makes it as binding as a sign. Most school districts have it in their employee handbooks that guns are not allowed on district property.
Maybe Keith or Charles will chime in.
Given that a regular ISD is a government entity (property is government owned), a 30.06 sign would not be valid.
Gov can post 30.06 on property where carrying is prohibited by statute.

The 30.06 is meaningless when carry is prohibited by statute and is still not valid because you wouldn't be charged for violating 30.06.
Not to mention the fact that a school parking lot is not off limits by statute.
