[quote=Anonymous]Wow, how ignorant on all fronts! If this happens more than every couple years, well, you're looking at a systemic problem. Get those carpets, bean bags, wall hangings and other fabrics into quarantine. About a week out in the cold will do. If it's the same child, then get uncle Freddy's barber shop inspected.
The health department has clear policies on lice in schools. Go call them, ask, and make sure the prescribed measures are taken. I'm sure they also have clear guidelines what steps to take in regards to information.
The one time our school had an issue, information was first targeted to those affected - with the school nurse inspecting everybody's hair in that classroom - and then brought to the school community when more classrooms were found to be infected. Students were sent home and could only return with a doctor's note. Meanwhile the nurse did regular inspections of all students and staff. But of course that doesn't do the trick if lice at any stage in their life cycle persist in carpets and other fabrics only waiting to jump on the next victim.
