What is the best way, or who is the best person, to ask when you would like to detect on a school property?
I want to say that you might only get one shot at getting permission but that might depend on the school. For example, asking the principal of a private board run School might not be the final answer if you can find out who the president of the school board is. maybe the principle, though, of a public school might be as far as you'll get.maybe talking to a teacher that you know at the school maybe one way to go at it.

Never ask to hunt public school property. Ever. Tom will be along to explain...
There might be an "obligatory" sign saying "visitors check in at the office" blah blah. But if you see others who jog the track, shoot hoops, walk their dogs, etc...: Then I consider md'ing to be equally as harmless and innocuous.
Ditto.. good adviceIf somebody tells you to stop, then apologize for the misunderstanding and immediately leave. Don't argue. You want them to forget about you. You don't want to be the subject of an email or a district wide memo.
Don't go when school is in session, or during any other after school activity.
Personally, I would never bring a shovel. I also don't detect right up against the school.
Stay away from landscaped areas and turf grass sports fields.
When I've detected at schools I've brought along a garbage bag and picked up trash as I went along.
What? Just go on Sat or Sun. I do all the time.
