Purpose of AIMS

The Association of Independent and Municipal Schools (AIMS) is a voluntary not-for-profit organization of public city and special school districts that was founded in 1992. Its purposes are to promote the development and improvement of municipal and special school districts in Tennessee, protect the rights of those systems to maintain themselves, represent their interest in the General Assembly and other forums, foster closer ties among directors of schools, boards of education, and local government officials, and to enhance the leadership role of municipal and special district systems as “lighthouses for educational innovation and excellence.”
