School Lice Policies

Schools in the Miami-Dade school district, including Miami Beach, still enforce a strict “no nit” head lice policy. This means that children will not be allowed to attend school if there are any nits found on their heads.

Schools in Shreveport are either in Caddo Parish school district or Bossier Parish school district. Policies are quite different in these districts.

Both Palmdale and Lancaster School districts will allow students to remain in class if they have nits only. If live lice are found, the students’ parents or guardians will be notified and they will be sent home to begin treatment.
