2008 Spring Session Begins Monday, March 17thRichland 101, the hottest ticket to information about local services, kicks off the Spring session on Monday, March 17, 2008. Richland 101 is an exciting 6-week series on how County government works, spends tax dollars, educates children, protects public safety, and provides other vital services. The course now includes many field trips. Citizens tour the county jail, sheriff’s office, EMS facility, the judicial center and Midlands Tech's new Technology Center.
Visits to the Richland County Public Library and the Columbia Museum of Art have also been added to the line-up this year. Richland County elected officials and top managers teach these classes. Topics include the county budgeting process, garbage service, the courts, schools, zoning, animal control/care, and much, much more.
Classes are held Mondays and Thursdays from 6:00 - 8:00 PM in County Council chambers, at 2020 Hampton Street. At the end of the session, “graduates” attend a meeting of the Richland County Council where they get a firsthand view of local government in action. Continuing education credits from Midlands Technical College are available upon completion of Richland 101. To register for this free course, contact Richland County’s Public Information Office at 576-2062 or 576-2067.
