Nominations at the entrance of school grounds
I've recently reviewed a few nominations where the POI was either on a school driveway, or on the school fence immediately outside the main pedestrian entrance. The submitter argued that because it wasn't technically on school grounds, it's not K-12.
Looking at the PRP guidance, we are told that "nominations should be rejected if their real-world location appears to be on private, single-family residential property or might encourage people to go onto private property (e.g., because the real-world location is at the end of a private driveway)."
Should we also be applying this kind of logic to schools and other forms of childcare? To reject if it may encourage people to go onto the school's property?
I can envisage many scenarios where having a Wayspot on a school driveway or entrance would cause problems, is there any guidance on this that I've missed?

Personally, I think we should be applying that logic to nominations that are on schools/other K12 premises. Allowing them just encourages people that have no association with the K12 premises to be hanging outside them.
Truthfully, it's a bit creepy that some adults are the ones making nominations that fall on school/K12 premises, let alone thinking that hanging outside because there's a wayspot there is a good idea.

If it is on the security fence/wall of a school or in the school's driveway, it is still on school property. This same rule applies to private residential property. Just because someone can "touch" it from a public sidewalk doesn't change the fact that it is on school property.

If it's not on the school grounds it's a yes from me. Alot of small villages here have a lot of worthy way points near the schools as that is where people are congregating. I dont see why anyone would not accept stuff near a school it's not what niantic say so why even question it.
