15.c. Policy JFCJ: Weapons in Schools
Description:
The 2021 Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 554 which includes amendments to ORS 166.360 and 166.370 and is now effective.
Oregon law has allowed members of the public possessing a concealed carry license to carry firearms on district property in accordance with ORS 166.370(3)(g). SB 554 (2021) created law that now allows districts to prohibit persons with concealed carry licenses from carrying firearms on school grounds by adopting a policy and posting notice at entry points. A person who is properly licensed to carry may still possess the firearm IF the person is not otherwise prohibited from possessing and if it is unloaded and locked in a motor vehicle and in accordance with law. To institute this prohibition, this requires a policy adopted by the board, the board to identify all school grounds subject to policy in a notice posted on the board's website, and post appropriate signage "at all normal points of entry to school grounds subject to policy" (Senate Bill 554, 2021), in accordance with law. Law enforcement are still permitted to carry and the superintendent may still approve use for district-sponsored activities.
