Tennessee’s private schools have authority to establish “firearms friendly” policies
“With respect to private K-12 schools, Tennessee Code Annotated Section 49-50-803 provides that the ‘the board or governing entity of each private K-12 school, or the chief administrative officer if the school does not have a board or governing entity, may establish a handgun carry policy for any property on which the school is located that is owned or operated by the school and for any building or structure located on the school property.’” – Tennessee Firearms Association, March 28, 2023
