Williamsville Central School District is committed to providing a safe, supportive environment free from
harassment, bullying and discrimination for all students. The District encourages the involvement of
staff, students, parents and community members in the implementation of the Dignity for All Students
Act (“DASA”) and the expectation that all students be treated with compassion and respect.
If you believe you, or someone else, has been the target of harassment, bullying, cyber-bullying, and/or
discrimination, you may use this reporting form to alert the building DASA Coordinator.
You may also submit an oral report by contacting a Building Administrator or Dignity Act Coordinator
directly.
School/district personnel witnessing an incident or receiving a report of an incident must complete and
submit a written report via WITS (or by using this form if access to WITS is not available) within two (2)
school days. NOTE: School/district personnel must also orally notify the principal, superintendent or
their designee no later than one school day after witnessing or receiving a report of an incident.
All complaints will be treated in a confidential manner. Anonymous reports may limit the district’s
ability to respond to the complaint. A prompt and thorough investigation will be conducted for all
incident reports.
Please complete this form and return it to a school administrator or Dignity Act Coordinator.
