CG REGULATION

SAFETY PROGRAM

SECTION ONE: SAFETY (INCLEMENT WEATHER AND CAMPUS CLOSINGS)

1.01 There may be occasions when weather conditions prevent the normal operations of the College District.  Should this condition occur, the following procedures are in effect:

  1. Class cancellations will generally be determined by 6 a.m. for day classes and 3:00 p.m. for evening classes and teaching centers.  If classes are cancelled, the College will announce the closure on the RAVE alert system, the College website, and the College’s social media platforms.  The decision to cancel classes due to weather conditions will always be based on students’ safety after consultation with the Texas Department of Public Safety or Department of Transportation and other public agencies.  Any cancellation announcements will also be on the web page and voicemail greeting of the main College number (936-639-1301).

  1. Only the College President, or designee, shall determine class cancellations and disseminate official announcements concerning cancellations.

  1. Cancellation of classes does not automatically mean that all operations at the College District are suspended.  In the event of a suspension of classes, all employees shall report for work unless weather conditions absolutely render unsafe any reasonable attempt to report.  In such cases, the employees unable to report shall, as soon as possible, notify his/her immediate supervisor.

  2. Should the entire College District operation be forced to come to a halt, minimum physical plant and campus security staff will be required to maintain and secure the College District.

SECTION TWO: SAFETY (LARGE EVENTS/GATHERINGS ON COLLEGE PROPERTY)

2.01 All large events or gatherings on Angelina College property that are either (a) open to the public and/or (b) will have non-Angelina College employees in attendance, must engage with the Angelina College Police department to ensure the following:

  • Any event with 50 to 200 attendees must have a minimum of one uniformed police Officer in attendance.

  • Any event with 201 to 400 attendees must have a minimum of two uniformed police Officers in attendance.

  • Any event with more than 400 attendees must have a minimum of three uniformed Police Officers in attendance. 

  • In addition to the uniformed Police Officers required above, if a host of any event with 50 or more attendees intends to serve alcohol at the event must have at least one additional uniformed Police Officer in attendance.

2.02 On a case-by-case basis, in consultation with the Angelina College Chief of Police, the College President may require the attendance of more or fewer uniformed Police Officers for any event.  

2.03 For any non-Angelina College-sponsored event, all officers will be compensated by the
event hosting party at the then regular Angelina College officer off-duty hourly rate.

The Vice President of Business Affairs is responsible for reviewing and updating this regulation. Policy reviews are made in accordance with the Office of Institutional Effectiveness Policy Tracking document.
