School Lice Policies

Schools in Summerville and Goose Creek do not hold to strict “no nit” policies. Students are allowed to return to school once effective treatment has been administered.

While each school district determines its own head lice policy, schools in Hicksville and Jericho do not maintain “no nit” policies. This means that students who still have remnants of eggs in their hair may return to school.

Many schools in Ohio are coming into alignment with policies recommended by the CDC and the National Association of School Nurses and are abandoning “no nit” policies.
