Simple, they don't.

A teacher shouldn't be cruising the halls looking for an active shooter.

Students/teacher shelter in place (classroom), lock doors til threat is over. Teacher armed, with focus on door of classroom. 26 people in room, better chance of 26 people leaving at the end of the day.

Not a fan of this fleeing mentality, just leads to chaos that the shooter can take advantage of.

This would also rely on the Deputies entering the school to track down the shooter instead of waiting outside for the fairy god mother to help.

Now if the Active shooter finds them, at least they have option to defend themselves.

Everybody is under this impression that the teachers are going to be some rogue SWAT team for the school.
