1. Any public or private hospital, college, university, school, orphanage, church, or any of the institutions, parks or other facilities maintained and supported by the State of North Carolina or any of its subdivisions.
Basically...almost anywhere cars can go...I only included part of the definition as you seemed you be indicating this incident happened on school grounds, which this definition covers.
