They do have that ability now. They probably just don't want to use it.wgoforth wrote: Yup... thats what I am trying to get at too...if they have the freedom to allow written permission for some employees, why do they not have that ability for some non-employees!?

Re: Concealed carry at high school graduation??
School districts can allow CHLs to carry on campus with written permission. The school board can give the teachers written permission, but no one else. Written permission doesn't have to be a blanket permission for everyone. However, I don't see why they couldn't give written permission to a non-employee if they wanted to.wgoforth wrote:There must be a nuance here that I don't grasp. How can a school district vote to allow it's teachers to carry, but cannot vote to allow other CHL holders who are not teachers to be able to carry. IOW, if a school is a "gun free zone" then how does a school have the ability to vote to allow it's teachers to as in the Harrold school district?
Actually, I seem to recall reading that the written permission had to be specific to a person and could not be a blanket permission under current Texas law. I don't remember where I saw that, so I have no way of backing that up.
