There is no definition of a "school function", true, but I did find these two definitions.
Quote:
IC 20-33-8-2
"Educational function"
Sec. 2. As used in this chapter, "educational function" means the performance by a school corporation or its officers or employees of an act or a series of acts in carrying out school purposes.
As added by P.L.1-2005, SEC.17.
<A name=IC20-33-8-4>IC 20-33-8-4
"School purposes"
Sec. 4. As used in this chapter, "school purposes" refers to the purposes for which a school corporation operates, including the following:
(1) To promote knowledge and learning generally.
(2) To maintain an orderly and effective educational system.
(3) To take any action under the authority granted to school corporations and their governing bodies by IC 20-26-5 or by any other statute.

So yes, the proverbial zoo trip could be no-carry, based on you not being aware of a school trip there that day. Of course, most judges would likely take intent into account, but there is nothing in the law to mandate they do so.
Hope that helps!
