<center> Schools can be good and or bad 
Best time is off hours or during the wkends when school is out.
Summer Vacation is another
I dont know if its the best idea going to a school right off the rip and DIG holes But....
you can always use the ole screwdriver method and say your looking for surface finds, sometimes that works better then if anyone see's you diggin holes.
A lot of folks think they own the schools and may not like anyone diggin at that school
For they think they own it or liability reasons.
I know where I lived in upstate NY they fenced off most school yards and you could not get into them like you use to be able too
Sad world now I guess but good luck and have fun

... Ask him / her if it would be alright AFTER school hours / on weekends when children are not present. Offer to show him / her the stuff you find and also demonstrate your target extraction technique so they might see you will leave no trace of having recovered a target .... notice never did I use the word DIG ... DIG has an ugly mental connotation meaning making and leaving large holes. If you do get permission, ask for a simple permission note.
If it's like around here, with chain link fences all around the school property, don't even bother asking.

I grew up in Rockville, Md. 
I've never had to ask or ever been asked to leave any of the schools that the wife and I hunt out here. I was not in the hobby when I lived in Maryland so I'm not sure what the rules are there.
