The knife things sucks even more...
What type of meeting/party/function is it?
And what kind of school?
THOSE are the determining factors.
-J-
Entire school corporation. It's a party/meeting. Awards will be passed. Food served. Speeches. Stuff like that.
It is not held on school property.
If it's the school corporation; IANAL, but it would appear to me that this would make it a "school function" and thus "school property" and thus no carry anywhere "in common" with the property being used by the school function.Entire school corporation. It's a party/meeting. Awards will be passed. Food served. Speeches. Stuff like that.
It is not held on school property.

Exemptions from chapter
Sec. 1. This chapter does not apply to the following:
(2) A person who has been employed or authorized by:
(A) a school; or
(B) another person who owns or operates property being used by a school for a school function;
to act as a security guard, perform or participate in a school function, or participate in any other activity authorized by a school.
What if you show up to a place that is having a school function? For example....You and your wife have the day off and she wants to go to the museum. You have no clue that, that day Mrs. Cooper's 1st grade class is on a field trip to the museum. You go there carrying having no clue or connection to the class. Could you legally carry?

You're good carrying the knife. I have carried and used large knives, think 4" folders, on school property for years. No one said a word. As long as you don't intend to use them as a weapon, you are legal.
