Dignity for All Students Act (DASA)

The West Seneca Central School District recognizes that learning environments that are safe and supportive can increase student attendance and improve academic achievement.  A student’s ability to learn and achieve high academic standards, and a school’s ability to educate students, is compromised by incidents of discrimination or harassment, including but not limited to bullying, taunting and intimidation.  The District therefore strives to create an environment free of discrimination and harassment and promotes civility in the schools to prevent and prohibit conduct that is inconsistent with the District’s educational mission.  To this end, the District has a comprehensive policy regarding the Dignity for All Students Act (“DASA”), which prohibits bullying, discrimination and harassment of students in specific circumstances.  The policy is available on the District’s website and at our District office.  Questions regarding DASA can be directed to the District’s appointed Dignity Act Coordinators:
