What is the name of your state? California

What does the legend under the SCHOOL, SPEED LIMIT 25 "WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT" mean ? Does law enforcement have a common definition? Can anyone refer me to an authorative definition..in other words does this mean the whole day while school is in session or for only before and after school as kids are arriving and departing?

For purposes of speed enforcement, here is a definition from CVC 40802(b)(2):

(2) For purposes of this section "school zone" means that area
approaching or passing a school building or the grounds thereof that
is contiguous to a highway and on which is posted a standard "SCHOOL"
warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school
either during school hours or during the noon recess period. "School
zone" also includes the area approaching or passing any school
grounds that are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or
other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children if
that highway is posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign.​
Thus, in general, if children are present in a posted area, it is a school zone.
