"The mediation is focusing on issues regarding discrimination; be it racial, sexual, religious,etc, and will still remain in lines with the NYS Dignity Act," Koffsky told Patch in an email. The faculty adviser of ACE is Mrs. Reanna Fulton.
The idea won the support of High School Principal Dr. Anthony Bridgeman who believes it's important to give students a voice in the school.
