What is DASA?

The Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) began on July 1, 2012. The Dignity Act states that no student shall be subjected to harassment or discrimination by employees or students on school property or at a school function based on their actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender or sex.

 

The Dignity Act amended NY State Education Law regarding instruction in civility, citizenship and character education by expanding the concepts of tolerance, respect for others, and dignity.

 

Please use the reporting Form at the link below to report any DASA complaint.  All complaints should be reported directly to the building Dignity Act Coordinator.  An investigation and finding will ensue.  If you have any additional concerns, please contact the district Dignity Act Coordinator.
