So, school shooters will just shoot the teachers first

All of them? How's that going to work?

Did you read the whole article? I quote:

Before assuming their duties, teacher resource officers would be required to complete Basic Law Enforcement Training in coordination with local police departments. Applicants for the program who have at least two years of experience in either law enforcement or the armed forces would be given priority over others, according to the bill. After completing the course, participants would be sworn in as law enforcement officers and granted the same arresting rights as the state’s municipal and county officers.

I would call that adequate vetting and training -- certainly better than what is currently given to armed security guards in some jurisdictions.

And some kid will get to the teacher’s gun at some point, and kill someone.

I've been a teacher for 37 years. In all that time, no student has ever reached into my pocket. Not one.
