The following are options for alternative operating procedures of the CMS Driver Education Program. These plans shall be used in cases that require a deviation from normal operations resulting from outside influences, including but not limited to weather, terror threats, natural disasters, etc.

Plan A - Regular schedule for classes. Regular schedule for BTW.

Plan B - Regular schedule for classes. Alter BTW training to regulate the distance that vehicles drive. Training would be in a localized area, cutting back on the distance students drive during the mandatory 6-hour training period until further notice.

Plan C - Suspend only BTW training until further notice.

Plan D - Cease all classes and BTW training at a designated time. Classes and BTW training will remain canceled until further notice. Communicate this decision at schools and parents of scheduled Classroom and BTW students.

Plan E - Cease all classes and Behind-the-wheel (BTW) training immediately. Call students' parents and arrange for pickup at the school or another designated place for immediate pickup, or communicate that students would be allowed shelter at the school. (This depends on the type of imminent danger.)

All plans should be announced to the public via CMS Public Information. In addition, the Driver Education Specialist will communicate with the Superintendent's office and collaborate with the CMS Police Department for all decisions regarding operations.
