Where is Indiana on this subject?
Are school districts allowed to arm teachers in their districts? Or is it possibly upto the school board?

There are a few that have armed staff. SE Shelby County went with what I'd call the Jay County model (not on-body carry, bio-metric access containers by specific staff.)

How many districts allow it? Do you happen to know?

Looks like 23 in Ohio now.

"The River Valley Local School District in rural Marion County joins 22 other school districts in the state that permit approved staff members to carry weapons on campus..."

Which pretty much ensures it won't happen in the vast majority of districts.

Really not sure GFGT. I do know we are a long way from "the parking lots had pickups, the pickups had gun racks, the gun racks had guns... and nobody ever got shot!!" pre-GFSZA of 90.
