This mother was a teacher in a primary school in a village near Taninges, the rectorate of the Grenoble academy, which oversees five departments in the region, including Haute-Savoie, told AFP.
Two establishments where she had worked received a visit on Wednesday morning from a representative of the rectorate and a “listening unit for staff and students” implemented with the support of psychologists and health personnel.
“Resources are put in place so that staff and students can feel supported in this tragedy,” we explained to the rectorate.
This discovery also caused strong emotion in this mountain town of 3,500 inhabitants in the Giffre valley, approximately 50 km east of Geneva, where a medico-psychological emergency unit was set up at the city hall.

An investigation for “voluntary homicides” was opened, said Bonneville prosecutor Boris Duffau. “It continues in order to determine the exact circumstances of the commission of the facts”he added.
