They shouldn’t be kept from the classroom,Instead, families should instead be offered educational programs to help them understand how to manage head lice.
The report advised schools that have a “no-nit” policy — which are the eggs that lice lay — to ditch them and allow kids back in class.“A child or adolescent should not be restricted from school attendance because of head lice, given the low contagion within classrooms,” the report says, stating that implementing “no nit” policies may “violate a child’s or adolescent’s civil liberties” and suggesting these policies are “best addressed with legal counsel for schools.
“Lice found on combs are likely to be injured or dead, and a louse is not likely to leave a healthy head unless there is a heavy infestation,” the report stated.
