I have written a letter of request to our board of education President requesting that he grant me permission in writing to have my weapon secured in a locked car on school ghrounds during school hours.
When speaking to people whom you know or suspect are anti-rights, it's a good idea to use neutral or positive terms.
"Weapon" is negative, connotes aggression & violence.
"Pistol", "self-defense tool", "firearm", or even simply "property" (after you have initially established that you are speaking of a firearm) are all neutral or positive.
Did you also include citation to & quotes from the law which says you can legally have the pistol in your car?
Giving references which support your position makes your argument stronger.

If you own property across from the school and you are exempt from the 1000 foot rule.
The LAC doesn't have to own the property. Any private property in the magical protection zone is exempt, & anyone on that property is exempt.
If there's a school next to, say, a strip mall (which will probably not be owned by the gov't) the parking lot & stores are exempt.
But if someone decides to walk across the street to the Taco Bell, the second they set foot on the sidewalk or in the street they're in the magical zone & have to have a license. This isn't just Ohio, this is federal law.
It's interesting that Ohio legislators chose to burden the citizens with stricter laws than the feds. (WI did too.) The federal "GF"SZ code says that anyone with a license can carry in the magical zone, & makes no distinction among the street 995' away, the sidewalk in front of the school or the classroom.
Dayton PD arrived at our house within a half hour and they insisted she was in the wrong and threatened to arrest her if she did it again.
FTFY
If she was really in the wrong they would have arrested her.
Someone else pointed out that if she was wrong then she had committed a felony. Except in other LEO, they generally don't ignore felonies. (Offenses which are only a ticket, yeah.)
