Always wondered why that is - meaning that if they have other exceptions which only apply when the space is being used as it is, why they didn't apply the same for school premises as they get used during summer for lots of non-school related activities.

It's because the of the way the law is written and worded. It states 'on the premises' and 46.035 defines premises as

(3) "Premises" means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.

So, the school 'building' is always a school building, no matter what it is being used for because it is owned by the school district.
