A .38 special revolver would be fine. In close quarters -15 meters or so - any full sized handgun would be fine. Loaded with glazier bullets to control overpenetration.
They could mount a biometric safe in each room of the school with approved teachers fingerprints as access.
The approved teachers should be volunteers and should get training.
It would be highly advantageous to NOT disclose which teachers do or do not have access.
When these shootings occur time is crucial. These monsters need to be disabled by whatever means are necessary ASAP. Just 5 minutes can mean dozens of deaths... This means whoever is on scene has the best chance of stopping things the quickest.
But you' d be fucked if you are unarmed.
If you have a safe in each room of the school, then ALL school personnel (not just teachers) would need to have access. For example, if there’s a gun safe in the mop cupboard, it isn’t going to do much good if the nearest ‘approved teacher’ is two corridors away. Similarly, a gun safe in a room with a non-approved teacher would be useless.
You really think all those people - cafeteria workers, administrators, janitors, etc - would volunteer?

Why would you give access to unqualified people?
Is that not exactly what you have been bleating about?
All gun safes could have the exact same keying - and contain the same type firearm that all of those who.volunteer for this program and complete the training will be versed in using.
Furthermore - ---
The program would be administrated by local law enforcement - who check the equipment every week.
Also - during that check - along with the firearm they would include two colored armbands - which the teacher would put on when taking out the firearm. (color would change weekly.)
That way when law enforcement does arrive on scene - they don' t shoot those teachers with guns trying to protect the kids.
