What you could do is allow teachers that don't want to be forced to be unarmed to volunteer for training programs and supply their own firearm and suitable safe/etc. Training programs could easily meet or exceed civilian pistol carry permit requirements and even be on par with law enforcement requirements.
For example, require them to attend deputy-reserve officer training (on their own time) and to have them supply their own biometric safe and suitable pistol. Reqiure regular documented training with proof of competency. This would ensure that not only is the teacher trained as officers, but that they have the weight of law and arrest powers as well. But I think its important that not only would the teacher need to WANT to be enrolled in something like this, the the training requirements would need to be through/stringent to weed out poor candidates.
Bio-metric drawer safe, securely installed into a desk drawer.... $200 (about half the price of the gun)
A key could be needed to access the drawer and then a fingerprint is required to open the safe.
