The Akimel A-al Middle School formed as the Vision Decision Team in August of that year. The members of the AMS team include educators, support staff, community members, and parents who volunteer to be part of the team.
Members serve two year terms and participate in leadership training sessions.
The Vision Decision Team focused most of its time the first year identifying the purpose of the group and establishing procedures that would promote optimal coordination among staff, students, parents, and community members. Throughout our eight years in existence, issues have surfaced for which it became evident that a larger population of parents, staff, and students needed to be involved. The workgroup concept was developed. Workgroups met throughout the past eight school years and made decisions and recommendations to the Vision Decision Team as a whole. Parents, community members, and students give their input through this process.
