Any teacher that agrees to be armed will also receive advanced training, which would include when a firearm could be used. This arguement above doesn't pass the smell test.

If a student brings a gun to school, and starts shooting, who's going to stop him, it sure isn't the cops, the late big school shooting in Florida proved that.

We must also be concerned about negligent discharges from teachers' guns...

LTC Eugene Chu This individual did not have the necessary training nor permission to have a firearm at the school. According to the article they were not sure it wasn't a suicide attempt.
By your statement, anyone who has a firearm, is a potential threat for negligent discharge. Included would be any LEO acting as a school resource officer, all military members, etc.

LTC Eugene Chu - A gun in a holster will not discharge, accidentally or otherwise.
