There are 1200 school districts in Texas only a quarter of those districts have armed staff.

I think it is precisely that that's a deterrent. It's why concealed carry acts more as a deterrent than open carry: there is a chance your victim is armed without you knowing that.
It isn't a deterrent because schools shootings keep happening. Potential shooters aren't afraid of getting killed.
