For some.

From the link:
“What will happen is the market will take care of this,” said Forrest Knox, a Kansas state senator who helped pass the concealed carry legislation. “Other companies are going to do the dollars and cents.”

That theory is certainly true in states like Texas, where strong tort protections have made it easier for about 30 districts to arm their employees this year. Dubravka Romano, who oversees a cooperative that insures about half of the state’s 1,035 districts, said schools there were not charged extra for having guns on campus.

Maybe I missed it, but I think insurance companies would be more amenable to having professionally trained guards rather than armed teachers in the schools.

I know I would...no possible way I would allow my kid to spend all day around someone with a gun, unless I could be assured they know what they are doing around firearms.
