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

immediately | 14 | | endangered, the school official shall notify the office of the
| 15 | | principal as soon as the students under his or her supervision | 16 | | and he or she

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 | 22 | | acting in good faith who makes such a report under

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
the reports. Knowingly and willfully failing | 16 | | to comply with this Section is a
