Overview

Civics 101 is a ten-week citizens' academy designed to educate, inform, and entertain residents interested in learning more about our municipal government.  The class runs annually February through April.

Due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, specifically those regarding limits on in-person gatherings, the town will not be offering a 2021 Civics 101 class.  Instead, there will be a virtual option for those participants in the 2020 class to complete the sessions that were canceled.  We hope to offer an in-person class in 2022!

The free program, which is celebrating its 14th anniversary this year (2020), is open to Davidson residents and residents of Davidson’s extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) who are 18 and older. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss departmental functions and operations with town department heads, tour the fire and police departments, learn about town history, and take part in a personalized question and answer session with the Board of Commissioners.  Regardless of how long you have lived in Davidson, this is a great way to familiarize yourself with the town government, meet elected officials, town staff and other residents.
