Can alcohol be consumed on the grounds of a public elementary or secondary school outside of school hours?

• A. Yes, anytime outside school hours
• B. Only with permission from the school board
• C. No
• D. Yes, if the alcohol is non-alcoholic beverages only

Answer: (C)

Alcohol on public school grounds is not allowed at any time. School property is kept under the school's control to protect students and staff, and laws and district policies generally prohibit drinking or possessing alcohol there, even outside school hours. So the correct answer is that alcohol cannot be consumed on school grounds outside of school hours. The idea that it could be allowed with permission, or that non-alcoholic beverages would make it okay, does not align with the typical prohibition on alcohol on school property.
