Head Lice Advice, Prevention, and Treatment

The Governing Board recognizes that the correct diagnosis and treatment of head lice will minimize disruption to the educational process and reduce student absences; no disease is associated with head lice, and in-school transmission is considered to be rare. School employees shall report all suspected cases of head lice to the school nurse or designee as soon as possible. The school nurse or designee shall examine the student and other children who were most likely to have had direct head-to-head contact with the affected child.
