School Lice Policies

Schaumberg School District The district no longer has a “no nit” lice policy. Children with lice will be allowed to remain in school until the end of the day. They are expected to be treated at home and if so they may return to school the next day. School personnel will handle the situation privately and with discretion.

Naperville School District 203 Based on current guidelines, Naperville schools no longer exclude from school students with nits. “Pediculosis, or head lice, is considered a nuisance, not a disease, by communicable disease experts and agencies such as the Will and DuPage County Health Departments, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
