By saying designated teachers allowed to carry, I think that has to be designated by the governing authority (i.e. school board/superintendant) but certainly not a public or even school-wide designation. I understand the difficulty in keeping secrets in a small public school, but hopefully the superintendant and board will realize the sensitivity of this and do everything to keep "designated persons" a secret - to the point of not having training "in house" or even not having every "designated" ones go the same time for training. A locked box in a room is certainly a giveaway too.

03 lightningrocks, the federal statute exempts state licensed concealed carry from their regulations and allows the particular state to go by their cc laws in regard to schools as I understand it.

I understand there are some more in East Texas considering it. I know for a fact that our local school is looking at it and have been pleased with the initial response of the superintendant and school board.

See in the Longview paper that Union Grove ISD voted to allow concealed carry - by select administraters and employees - on campus. This will be after additional training. Great in my opinion except for, in my opinion, the fact that they are trying to decide if the weapons will be on the person or locked in an undisclosed location. I'm not for anywhere but on my person if I'm involved. They seemed to have stong community support at their public hearing according to the paper.
