Schools in TX are a gun free zone and posted 30.07, unless you’re licensed to carry (different than Permitless carry) then anyone (faculty, parents, admin staff, etc) would be considered a Class A misdemeanor. If LTC, then it gets dropped to Class C misdemeanor. But, LTC individuals are not aloud to carry on school premises during active school activities, UNLESS with prior permission, like a security guard.
EDIT: Texas PC 46.03
Prohibited locations: Schools (amongst others as well)
So, yea, faculty couldn’t carry even if they wanted to
Not only can't I carry in a Texas school, I can't carry when I go to a school convention in Austin if I drive a school vehicle. Scary. It is a 5 hour drive one way without cell phone reception everywhere. My school has one security guard. Take him out and it would ne bad.
Texas does have the Guardian Program that allows faculty to carry if the choose to do so pending certain training requirements. Just wanted to throw that out there
Yup, I live near Uvalde and the schools in my town has armed faculty that go through regular training and evaluations. They have signs posted at all the schools making it known staff are armed and will use whatever force necessary to protect the kids. They also keep all the doors locked and have a camera system for anyone wanting to come in. They have to given permission to enter before someone will meet them at the door.

Just carry anyway.
I take my firearm literally everywhere I go. Either on me, or in my bag. Nobody in the last 8 years of constant carry has anyone known.

-This- is the problem. 2A: No publically run or funded location ought to be a "gun free zone".
Can’t be labeled insane by a doctor if you don’t go to the doctor. The medical industry has lost all credibility anyway.
