NYS Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)
The New York State Dignity For All Students Act (Dignity Act) took effect on July 1, 2012. The goal of the Dignity Act is to create a safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and focus, rather than fear being discriminated against and/or verbally and/or physically harassed.
All public elementary and secondary school students have the right to attend school in a safe, welcoming, considerate and caring environment. The Act states that no student will 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.
