The website includes comprehensive bullying awareness resources and information for students, parents, and faculty. As of 2012, New York State requires all public school districts to designate a school staff member as a Dignity Act Coordinator (DAC) to protect students from harassment, discrimination and bullying. This website includes a list of each school district’s DAC, which is provided as a resource for students who may encounter bullying. Entry submissions are due on February 1, 2015. The music video clip must communicate the issue of bullying and illustrate ways that their peers can address this serious issue. We are looking for a short video clip posted through a YouTube account to be no more than 1 minute in length.
