How can AISD file criminal charges if you have a CHL and it's legal to have in the car? You could certainly get fired if you were an employee but I'm not familiar with a law that would allow them to file criminal charges unless they knew and asked you to leave and you didn't, then it would be trespassing. Anybody got a link or reference to a law that says the school can file against you?
If you have a CHL you can have your weapon on you, or in your car, on the premises of AISD regardless of wether or not you have a student there.
I don't see that sign as barring anything and they can shove their policy, it doesn't hold the weight of law as far as criminal charges go.
I don't think anyone on here is saying that they could file criminal charges. However they are perfectly capable of picking up a phone and dialing 911, those that respond to that call will probably have that ability and inclination to do so.
As a school district employee they can keep you from keeping a weapon in your car or face termination or criminal charges. Regardless of CHL.

Policy FO refers to student discipline.

Did Texas not pass a law a few years ago to keep employers from forbidding the storage of firearms in your car?
Yah, are we not protected by the castle doctrine?

But Texas is an "At Will" employment state, so the school board has every right to dismiss an employee for any reason as long as it is not in violation of Federal law (e.g. discrimination).
And no reason has to be given for the dismissal.
Neither do I. But the OP, breakingcontact, asked who to contact to get the sign changed. Since the sign was posted pursuant to AISD policy, if he wants to get it changed then AISD is the entity that he should contact.I don't give two shits about AISD policy...
The parking lot law specifically excludes schools IIRC.
If its factually inaccurate. It should come down.
