Identifying, Assessing, and Reducing Threats in Order to Foster a Safe Campus Environment
Central Georgia Technical College understands the climate that exists on college campuses in the post-Virginia Tech shooting era. Additionally, each technical college in Georgia has been guided by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) office to develop a plan and select a committee to address potential threats of this nature. In response, CGTC has established the Behavior Assessment and Recommendation Team (BART) to serve as an additional measure for campus safety. That having been stated, it must be understood that even with the best intentions, situations may arise that are unforeseen by any member of the college community. BART will operate in some instances with very limited information while exercising due diligence to protect the college community and the individual.
