Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) Coordinators

New York State’s Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) seeks to provide the State’s public elementary and secondary school students with a safe and supportive environment free from discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment, and bullying on school property, a school bus, and/or at a school function. DASA was signed into law on September 13, 2010 and took effect on July 1, 2012. One of the requirements of the law is to appoint a DASA Coordinator at each building.

The DASA Coordinator is responsible for investigating and addressing issues of harassment, or any situation that threatens the emotional or physical health or safety of any student, school employee, or any person who is lawfully on school property or at a school function. Please contact the DASA Coordinator for your school with any questions or concerns.
