A committee consisting of administration, family liaison, and the ATLAS Site Developer made initial decisions about the membership of the School Leadership Team. At that time, discussion focused on the importance of having a broad range of representation, including parents, administration, faculty, and community members, as well as having continued representation from the disbanded Merger Steering Committee.

The School Leadership Team has considered many different issues facing the school community, from parking to school uniforms.

Today, the Fletcher-Maynard Academy Leadership Team is a site-based team that is responsible for planning, goal setting, and budgeting for school improvement. It allows for teachers and administrators to work closely with parents and the community to become more responsive to the needs of the Academy. The principal also serves as co-chair while the other co-chair is elected. There are four main areas of responsibility for school leadership teams: a) to assist the principal in adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local policies and statewide student performance standards, b) identify the educational needs of students attending the school, c) review the annual school budget, and d) formulate a school improvement plan.

The team meets on the first Thursday evening of the month. Subcommittees set their own meeting times and report back to the Leadership Team at the monthly meetings.
