Came across the Texas Association of School Boards' policy on firearms. Didn't see it posted elsewhere and has been updated March 2016 with relatively accurate information. Few things I found of interest:

Firearm Possession by Other Campus Visitors, Including Parents: (see last paragraph)
Argument against this logic found here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=82361&p=1052074&hil ... l#p1052074



School-sponsored activities: (TASB stating school drop off may be "school sponsored activity")



Firearm Warning Signs on School District Property: (Schools should NOT post locations if not found in PC 46.03/.035)

From 46.03...

Note what follows after the bolded section:

...on the premises of an institution of higher education or private or independent institution of higher education, on any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by the institution is being conducted, or in a passenger transportation vehicle of the institution;...

That is the campus carry provision and is effective 08/01/16. His question is about school districts. That section does not change primary and secondary schools and school districts.

Noted.

No questions. Just passing along information that the TASB is distributing to their schools regarding firearms, LTC, etc.

And the regs for institutions of higher learning and all other schools have subtle differences which in some ways will consolidate after August 1 and in other ways will be even more different.
