Geneva’s primary schools will soon have an Active Shooter plan - a protocol for attacks involving armed individuals.
Parents have been calling for such measures since last year.
Staff will be briefed by the end of October, with secondary schools to follow in November.
Details remain under wraps for security reasons. One element is certain: alarm buttons are planned only for new buildings. Since 2016, Geneva police have answered six shooter alerts – all of them false alarms.
