Well, yeah, but a state resident permit does allow carry in the vicinity of K-12 schools in that state...or Federal buildings, or some Federal parks, lakes, docks, or other properties.

The school zone safety law, on the other hand, prohibits firearms within 1000 feet of a school property. So it applies not only to the school building(s) and to the school property, it also extends a gun-free buffer zone 1000 feet out from the boundaries of the school property.
There are a couple of exceptions to the federal gun free school zone (GFSZ) law. One exception, I believe, says something about people who reside within the 1000 foot buffer. Another exception is a carry permit. But ... state reciprocity does NOT help here, because the GFSZ law says the exception applies to holders of permits issued by the state in which the school is located.
(i) on private property not part of school grounds;
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
