My wife and I were very happy with the moves that have been made, the ideas that were discussed and the items coming up:  Added metal detectors, increased security, armed security, better track of locked doors even in the after school hours when activities are going on, etc.

One thing NOT brought up was arming teachers.

After the meeting two of the older teachers were talking.  One is a hunter the other never fired a gun in his life.  Both said if they offered they would have no problem with the trained, experienced teachers carrying though.

Overall a good meeting with input from the security, school board, teachers and parents.  We all agreed that this isn't a single answer problem and that a spectrum of answers will be required.

And the issue I have is that the things suggested at your meeting are more intrusive than allowing trained educators that wish to conceal carry to do so. Who wants to come to school walking through metal detectors and armed security? But kudos to your district for looking for solutions.
