Students in Vancouver schools will be able to get counselling if they need in the wake of the horrific shootings at a Connecticut elementary school last week.
School district spokesman Kurt Heinrich says teachers have been told about how best to approach the topic in class and identify sensitive students.
“For kids that are more sensitive to the issues or more concerned, there would be counselling services available and we do have an excellent district counselling crisis team that we can deploy where necessary.”
Heinrich adds schools will continue with their safety drill schedules, which includes two lockdown drills every year.
