In an email Monday to school superintendents across Georgia, state Associate Superintendent Garry McGiboney said state officials can conduct on-site safety assessments for schools with help from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.
McGiboney also provided a link to resources for Georgia schools, which includes guidance on how to talk to students about tragedies.
Georgia schools are taking varying approaches to school security since the Friday shootings in Newtown, Conn., which left 20 children dead.
In Atlanta's northeastern suburbs, police officers are being assigned to schools "to help prevent any type of copy cat or similar incident" after the Connecticut shooting, Gwinnett County police said.
