Miami - Schools around the US are reviewing security plans
and in some cases adding extra law enforcement patrols to prepare for the first
day of classes since a shooting massacre at an elementary school in
Connecticut.
Districts in Florida, Georgia and Alabama are among those
asking local law enforcement to add patrols. Many stressed that they have
safety plans that are regularly tested.
A gunman shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Connecticut, on Friday and killed 26 people before shooting himself.
The dead include 20 children ages 6 and 7.
In Maryland's suburbs outside Washington, Montgomery County
Public Schools will have counsellors available at each school on Monday to help
provide support.
Officials in South Carolina's largest school district sent a
note to parents on Friday ensuring they have safety plans that are regularly
tested.
