At the end it says that the teacher packing a gun to school has to:
1)have a Texas CHL (which requires training and testing)
2)pass training in crisis management

I personally doubt that doing those two things is enough to afford the school district enough legal protection for the liability of having the armed teacher should the teacher ever use the gun.

The above two requirements may be enough for the teacher to be legally able to carry the gun though. But, I would be afraid of trying to legally defend the teacher in court if I was a lawyer...

I think that Chumdawg's (and Dalmation202 and I and others) idea of training the armed teacher to the level of a deputized law enforcement officer is necessary to really do this right.
