According to the mayor, all schools will be equipped with shelters in case of an emergency, these may be the most usual premises, but students should be taught how to hide and behave in a shelter, therefore appropriate training will be held regularly, writes Brooklyn News12.

In addition, in middle and high schools, students will selectively and without warning check on metal detectors if it is suspected that one of them could carry weapons to school.

All of these changes will take effect in the city from March 15.

De Blasio made harsh criticism of the proposal by US President Donald Trump to hand out firearms to teachers to protect children.

According to him, adding more weapons to urban schools will only increase the problem.

The governors of the states of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island formed a coalition for arms control, hoping to make progress where, in their opinion, the actions of the federal government are not effective.
