Dignity for All Students Act (The Dignity Act)
New York State’s Dignity for All Students Act (The Dignity Act or 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.
The New York State School for the Deaf is dedicated on making our school a safe and supportive environment for staff and students from Pre-K up to 12th grade. We’ve attached copies of our DASA forms that are readily available for both staff and students. If there are any questions please contact our DASA Coordinator, Chris Kimball, at 315-337-8400 x6804.
