Definition of a school

Fairfax Co. has these things they call "Instructional Centers" which appear to be nothing more than administrative office buildings for the school system. My precinct votes in the Allan Leis Center.

Federal law seems to define "school" as a building where K-12 classes are actually held, but I can't find a clear definition in my admittedly unprofessional and brief review of VA law. 18.2-308.1 does not appear to address exactly what defines a school.

Any armchair or real lawyers want to opine on this?
