30.06 and 30.07 posted - at elementary schools?

Many of the school campuses (and probably all) in the city I live in have 30.06/07 signs posted at the gates and building entry ways. These are public schools in a fairly large school district.

I thought this was odd. Or is this common practice? It just seemed to me the signs were kind of redundant and unnecessary (legally). Why do they post these signs when, by state law, it is already illegal for a person with a license to carry inside schools?

I'm just curious by nature and like to understand the reasoning behind things. Do they post these signs out of ignorance because they think they need to in order to legally ban concealed/open carry? Or do they legally have to post these even though they are a school? Or maybe they are posting them sort of as "an extra measure", so to speak, in order to quash any possible lingering assumptions a license holder might have about the legality of carrying on campus?

And as a side note, not that I care to or I ever would, but theoretically, since these signs are invalid as far as their legal intentions go, what would happen if they were challenged legally? It would make no sense to do so because the restrictions would still exist, but would it be a legitimate challenge due to the conflict in statues and so on?
