Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)
New York State’s Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) seeks to provide public elementary and secondary school students with a safe and supportive environment free from discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment and bullying on school property, aboard a school bus and/or at a school function.
Rockland BOCES dedicates significant resources to improving anti-bullying procedures and staff training to ensure our schools exceed DASA requirements.
We are committed to providing an educational and working environment that promotes respect, dignity and equality for all students, staff and parents.
Our policies condemn and prohibit all forms of discrimination, such as harassment, hazing and bullying on school grounds, on school buses, at school bus pick-up sites and at all school-sponsored activities, programs and events.
Our schools cannot effectively address bullying if incidents are not reported. Anyone who feels he or she has been bullied or harassed, who wants to report an incident of someone else being bullied, or who has questions on this topic, is urged to contact the relevant school anti-bullying coordinator.
