A: Individuals with a valid CCW are generally not allowed to carry firearms on school grounds. However, exceptions can sometimes be made with explicit permission from the school administrator. It's important to check local and state laws, as they can vary significantly.

You should directly contact the school administration to inquire about their specific policy on this matter. They will provide the necessary guidance and let you know if permission is possible and under what circumstances.

Remember, the primary goal is to ensure the safety of students and staff, so the rules around firearms on school property are typically very strict. Always seek official information and follow the legal procedures in place.
