Absolutely. But at the very least, teachers should receive hostile action training.

Dittoes on that. I work for a bank. In a highly secured office complex requiring ID badges and no one comes in without prior authorization.
I had to watch (required) a video on how to react and respond if there was a active shooter in my building. Then take a 5-10 question test afterward. Standard stuff. No big deal.
But I kept putting it off. I had work to do. No time for a silly video. But I finally took it on the last day possible. And that was Feb. 14. The day of the Parkland shooting.
That video along with the tragedy in Parkland is still with me. It’s all about situational awareness. At home, at work, at school, wherever.
Our kids at school do fire drills all the time. They - or the teachers at least - need to do active shooter drills.
Teachers have plenty of teacher workdays. They all need to spend one day (at least) each year in coordination and prepping for an active shooter. And be sure all staff members know who is and isn’t armed.
That one is debatable. It could be used against someone.
