You'll have that opportunity if you sign up for Northampton County's first Spring Academy.

It's a one-evening session that will focus on the Department of Corrections. The first 50 county citizens who register will be among the select few to hear about what goes on behind bars. It will focus on the programs and services that Corrections administers.

This session will take place May 6, between 6 and 8:30 p.m. at the jail.

If you'd like to register, call Camille Bartlett, Public Safety Administrator, at 610-923-4327. You can also email her at cbartlett@northamptoncounty.org.

The goal of the Citizens' Academy is to foster a better relationship between county government and its constituents while providing the foundation for greater citizen participation on the county's boards, commissions and authorities.
