About the Dignity for All Students Act
The Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) was implemented in July 2012 and its purpose is to provide students with a school environment that is free of discrimination and harassment by peers and school personnel. DASA covers behaviors on school property, the school bus and at school sponsored events or functions. Incidents of harassment and discrimination covered include; threats, intimidation or abuse based on a person’s actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender and sex. DASA is intended to protect all students.
