event that they observe any |
7 | | person in possession of a firearm on school
grounds; provided |

students who are under the direct supervision of |
11 | | the school official or the
school official. If the health, |
12 | | safety, or welfare of students under the

|
15 | | principal as soon as the students under his or her supervision |
16 | | and he or she
are no longer under immediate danger. A report is |
17 | | not required by this Section
when the school official knows |
18 | | that the person in possession of the firearm is
a law |
19 | | enforcement official engaged in the conduct of his or her |
20 | | official
duties or otherwise authorized by the school board to |
21 | | carry a firearm under Section 10-20.85 . Any school official |

in |
9 | | possession of a firearm on school grounds is a student, the |
10 | | principal or
his or her designee shall also immediately notify |
11 | | that student's parent or
guardian. Any principal or his or her |
12 | | designee acting in good faith who makes
such reports under |
13 | | this Section shall have immunity from any civil or criminal
|
14 | | liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a |
15 | | result of making

25 | | believe that the minor
committed a violation of item (4) of |
26 | | subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of the
