Just to beat this to death a school is not a public place with no restrictions. I was once trying to take a shot of background mountains from a school property and a principle stopped me. They dont allow camera's in just any old circumstance as sometimes parents in custody battles are trying to get evidence. As for your statute, I dont see how it is enforceable or no one would be taking pictures/video's outside of a private residence.
