Cancelling Leadership Classes

As with other work-related emergencies, communication is critical in a) deciding to cancel a class and b) ensuring that all affected know of the decision to cancel. No policy can cover all situations. When weather or other conditions may affect a leadership class, it is important that the lines of communication remain open and that instructors, participants, and their managers have the most current information about the class.

Classes already in session - Instructors will contact the local CDS support staff who will then contact the CDS leadership point of contact for the program who would then contact the LCF program manager. The program manager will facilitate making the decision if the class will continue or not. Final determination to close the class will be made by the LCF Director, after consultation with the program manager.

Classes not yet started - The decision to cancel classes will be made as far in advance as possible. That decision will be made by the LCF Associate Director, in consultation with the program manager. After the decision to cancel is made, the LCF program manager will work in conjunction with the CDS leadership point of contact to send messages to instructors, participants and their managers. CDS will also send an ELMS notification canceling the class. When possible, the program manager will attempt personal contact with the instructors and participants.
