Dignity for All: Safeguarding LGBT Students

All students deserve a safe, respectful school environment

Peter DeWitt provides specific strategies for school leaders that include:
    Implementing a student code of conduct and school board policies to safeguard students
    Helping staff members recognize and respond to overt and covert LGBT issues
    Ways to include appropriate LGBT topics in the curriculum
    Supporting Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA) in middle and high school settings
