I don't know about this, why would the number of incidents go up if teachers have weapons? Especially if they are trained to handle situations.
Another post on HN talks about a school district in Texas allowing teachers to carry firearms, but it takes a lot of training in both using the gun and hostile situations. This is a recent thing, so it's still undecided if it will help, but I feel like it helps to have the teachers trained.
The fact that through an unfortunate twist of history you even need to consider arming your teachers is simply incredible. There are a lot of great things about the US, but sadly the gun ownership fiasco is not one of them.
