Otherwise Lawful Possession of Firearms on School Property

Entry onto school property by any person with a firearm, loaded or unloaded, is prohibited by the Board of Education with the exception of law enforcement officials. The issuance of a permit to carry a pistol or revolver does not authorize the possession or carrying of a pistol or revolver on school district property. The Board of Education prohibits such possession on
school district property.

The Board of Education may employ or enter into an agreement for public school security services with a firearm, as defined in state law, only with a sworn member of a local police department or a police officer who retired or separated in good standing from the department.

Students are prohibited by the Board of Education from possessing firearms for any reason, whether otherwise lawful or not, in or on the real property comprising the public or private elementary or secondary school or at a school sponsored activity as defined in subsection (h) of
section 10-233a.
