Budget constraints, hazard pay and just the insurance liability would be astronomical. Just because a person would volunteer doesn't mean a family member would not sue if that person was killed.
I read today that the school was very secure. One would have to show ID and get buzzed in to be where the shooter was. No amount of armed guards would have stopped this. If one was to shoot his way in then you would need volunteer targets plain and simple.

These safes would have auto dialing to local precinct - so that all one had to do was to open the safe to alert authorities of an attack.
Those classrooms should be monitored with cameras and that classroom should also be able to have a camera view of the entire school room by room and hallways etc. So that the "safety officer" would be able to have an idea what they were up against -- and where the attacker(s) are.
In the meantime - none of the children would have to know or see the safe or any "armed guards" -- put the safe behind a paneled wall/corkboard etc. Directly behind the teachers desk.
