I know the guy above me had a different interpretation but the "or any grounds" part leads me to believe that they do not want her to keep a gun in her car, even in in the employee parking lot, and she most likely would be fired if they ever found it.

Can I get a second opinion?
You have to read the complete setence on the "or any grounds" statement; "any grounds or building where a school sponsored activity takes place". That is wording pulled directly from the state law (not going to look it up cause I am lazy). It is basically saying that you can't have in a building or be carrying it at a school sponsored event on grounds being used at that time. So for example the band is practicing in the parking lot. She can't carry in the parking lot at that time in the presence of the band. Without the band there she could walk around the parking lot carrying to her heart's content.

But that wording is specific to carrying. It really doesn't address storeage of the firearm in a car so I think you are still in a grey area.and she could be fired if they so chose.
