Policy V-L Policies on College Emergencies/Natural Disasters/Business Continuity
Policy V-L-1: Policy on College Emergencies and Natural Disasters (New)
The board authorizes the Chancellor or his/her designee to develop and implement a plan for mitigating disasters due to natural causes. The plan must provide for timely, efficient, and controlled preparedness, recovery and restoration of essential College operations.
Policy V-L-2: Policy on Unscheduled School Closures (New)
The board authorizes the Chancellor or his/her designee to release students and college employees for national or state mourning or for civil or natural disasters and emergencies such as severe weather, which could threaten public safety. The closure may impact the college district or only one campus, in cases of localized emergencies such as power failure or street flooding.
Policy V-L-3: Policy Payroll During an Unscheduled Closure (New)
When the college is closed due to a disaster or other unscheduled reason, full-time employees will normally receive regular pay for the duration of the closure. However, since the duration of a disaster related closure is impossible to predict, the College reserves the right to adjust this provision to the specific circumstances of the closure.
