The questions that interest me more are the "gray area" ones. For instance, if a non-school related organization is renting that high school football stadium for a non-school related event, does the law still apply? For example... If a church organization wanted to rent the stadium for a crusade event, would the fact that the stadium owner is the ISD make it illegal for you to carry into the event? (Think Billy Graham crusade, or something like that.)
This is my first post, so hello all. This site is great! I will say that the law is very difficult for us to interpret and that we do so very differently. My answer to the "Billy Graham Crusade" is NO! Reason:

PC 46.035 (b) (6): on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship.

Although it is in a stadium and not during a school function, I believe it now has been an established place of religious worship. I think there are three options in cases of uncertainty: (1) find out if it is legal to ccw and follow applicable rules to the place/event, (2) if still unclear about ccw, that is why it is called ccw...nobody knows, (3) if uncertain don't carry to the event.

I will definately say that I don't advocate violating laws and would hope all would abide by them. This is why this forum is great. We can get a different perspective on the law from other people.

Incorrect. This is another situation where you have to read the entire statute (amendments are usually added to the end).

If you have not been given notice under 30.06 then you can carry at the Billy Gram Crusade.

PC46.035 (i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor
was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.

IANAL and this is not legal advice.

If the event is not sponsored by a school or educational institution then you can legally carry, so ;you can carry for the example you've mentioned.

PC w6.03. PLACES WEAPONS PROHIBITED. (a) A person commits
an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly possesses
or goes with a firearm, illegal knife, club, or prohibited weapon
listed in Section 46.05(a):

any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or
educational institution is being conducted

educational institution is public or private, unless pursuant to written
regulations or written authorization of the institution;
