This workshop concentrates on reporting incidents to the school district using protocol from the NYS Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) Legislation. After reviewing aspects of bullying and basics of the DASA Legislation, participants will use a sample reporting form to practice reporting an incident to the school district. Participants will take a brief look at how New York State enacted this law in response to advocates speaking up about school climate and school safety for all students.
