My wife is a high school teacher and a former Military Police Officer and though armed teachers might have an effect on active shooters she doesn't think most teachers should be armed. They are educators, a somewhat different breed of person. She's not talking about ex law enforcement or prior military teachers but the career teacher. Secondly there are way more physical encounters with students meaning now you have to deal with weapon retention issues while delaling with these conflicts. Could you imagine the headline if a student disarmed a teacher and then shot someone? She would like some less than lethal incapacitating options to be looked at and has requested it be researched. She doubts our "elected" superintendant will be willing to sign off on anything.
