Do you know how things work within your municipal government? 

Who manages whom?

Who makes decisions about road work and how?

How is public safety coordinated?

Where do your tax dollars go?

What DO those boards and commissions do? 

Here is a chance to learn how your municipal government works.

The “Inside Barnstable Town Government, A Citizens Leadership Academy” program has been used as a model by communities across the state and country. This program runs from Sept. 5 and run through Nov. 15,  on Wednesday evenings from 6.30 to 9 p.m. at various locations throughout the town.

Guest speakers and site visits are a part of the program which is coordinated and presented by Sue French and Meg Loughran, two popular teachers from our school system.

There is usually a wait list for space in this class, but seats are available now.

To sign up – call 508-862-4610, or check out this page on the town website for class schedules and details, including an application for the program:
