Revoke the "gun free" zone status of schools. Widely publicize this, to the point of saturation.
Modify any policies by school district administrations that bar the carrying of weapons by all staff to allow CCW permit holders to carry.
To encourage staff to get permits you can...
Reimburse CCW permit fees for any school staff who get one.
Mandate that firearms training counts as continuing education for teachers, with a X number of hours as a minimum, say 16 hours, which is a 2 day weekend class.
Offer a pay bonus to staff who get a permit and attend approved training every X length of time, say annually.
You could implement some more things that would incentivize the carry of concealed handguns by staff, but the above would be where I would start.
Texas went Constitutional Carry in 2021, so there's no ccw licensing cost.
But sign into law that firearms training and certification is mandatory for all teachers. Not all of them will carry, and with the type of people we keep seeing online working as teachers, you probably don't want all of them armed.
But they already have mandatory certication for other parts of their profession, mandating one more is not a big issue. Once you have them on the range, teach them the basics and to achieve a minimum of competence in law, carry and accuracy, then you can push them with incentives.
You can still get a permit, which is required to carry in a couple places (on campus, for example) and can restricted from carry on private property by a different section of the law than carry without a permit.
