  25. Testimonials Another principal in a school that is part of the districts desegregation plan reported:  LINKS has had a positive impact on the climate/ culture at our school. This is not to say that we have accomplished every goal we set out in our Action Plan, but we have identified those areas that we need to work to improve and LINKS has given us a framework and guidance to improve. We are working our way toward our goals. Just knowing that there is a support system out there to take the lead in helping us plan has been such a positive addition to the attitudes and climate of our school.
