School Lice Policies

School head lice policies can vary from town to town and county to county. Woodmere and Valley Stream do not enforce “no nit” policies.

Schools in Edmond do not hold to a strict “no nit” policy, however they are fairly strict on the requirements for students to attend school after a case of head lice is discovered.

Schools in Lorain hold to a strict “no nit” policy, meaning that children are not allowed to return to the classroom until they are confirmed to have no more nits or eggs. Schools in Elyria only restrict attendance when an active infestation of live lice is present. As always, check with your child’s school for their particular recommendations.
