After three months of learning
everything about their local government, the Spring 2006 class of the Charleston
County Citizens' Academy officially "graduated." A reception was held for the
graduates prior to their being recognized at a County Council meeting. At the
reception, the participants had an opportunity to talk to County Council members
and other county employees. The free, in-depth 12-week course is organized by
county employees Linda Slater and Marie Schultz. Slater and Schultz volunteer
their time after work to coordinate the sessions.
