Charter schools? My preference would be to not allow any opt out for any public facility but do allow for private schools to respect property rights. For me, charter schools are a problem because they take state tax dollars to educate children, but are privately owned. Humm.

Off topic, but chater schools on average have posted as good or better scores than regular ISDs while saving the state 30% per student. I don't have a problem with that at all.
I must say that this statement surprises me given the fact that most on here prefer smaller government and public education is one of the largest government bodies there is.

As far as I'm concerned, since it is legal to carry in a church that is renting a hotel room then it should be no different for any church who is paying rent. If we are going to continue the ridiculous practice of banning CHL from school buildings in order to protect the children, then why not amend the law to be effective only during school hours or during any posted school events. Simply put, if it is school sponsored and in a school building, during that time frame you can not carry.

It would also be very easy to limit carry to the area rented.

I might also add that should the school lease out space for profit for non-educational/non-ISD activities, the "school" designation along with the tax exemption status should be removed for the time slots specified in the lease.
