Dignity for All Students Act

The Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) is a New York state law aimed at promoting a safe and supportive school environment for all students. It protects students from bullying, harassment, and discrimination based on characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. The law requires schools to implement policies that foster respect and dignity, provide training for staff, and establish reporting procedures for incidents of bullying. The goal is to ensure that every student feels valued, safe, and able to learn without fear of mistreatment in their educational setting.
