It unfortunately can happen, even if due diligence is done, but it sure doesn't set a very good example...
Generationally, it reminds me how 'back in my day' high-school kids took guns to school fairly often, but we were 'mature' enough not to shoot each other with them, and left them in our vehicles for hunting or target shooting after school mostly (I on occasion kept mine in my locker, since I usually rode the school bus). Now, it seems, even the 'authorities' cannot be trusted around firearms.

60+ years ago I would take my .22 rifle to school every Friday, because after school I would ride the bus home with my friends who lived on a farm in the county and spend all day Saturday hunting squirrels. I'd drop the rifle off at the Principal's office, pick it up after school, and spend a few minutes chatting with him about how the squirrel season was going before hopping on the bus.

Yep. In about 1973 or so I had the vice principal try to talk me OUT of leaving my lever action rifle (that I had picked up from being repaired at the local gun shop) with him for the afternoon. I finally explained that I had shop class in the afternoon so I didn't want to have it with me in class with THAT wild bunch, and my locker was one of those half height ones that wouldn't accommodate a lever action rifle. I think he was insulted when I asked him to give me a screwdriver so I can remove the lever and bolt and keep them in my pocket; but I politely explained that I didn't feel comfortable leaving a functioning firearm with anybody I didn't know personally well enough to be sure they would be safe with it. He got me a screwdriver and I took out the bolt and lever and ejector (it was a Marlin 1889) and slipped them in my pocket until I picked the gun up after school.
