[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Arlington County website:

What is your lice management plan?

The role of School Health staff in lice management is to:

Provide education to parents, children and staff about head lice
Help identify students with head lice
Make recommendations to parents about treatment of head lice
Check groups of students for head lice when that is appropriate
We work in conjunction with families and teachers to identify lice and with health providers to treat and manage lice infestations.

Campbell doesn’t do any of that.[/quote]

The nurse isn’t even an APS employee. School Health is from the County, and has the same policy across all schools. If one school isn’t following the written policy, you can be sure none are. Lice sucks, but it’s not Campbell’s fault. My kid got it from a rec sport teammate who is an MPSA student that we were carpooling with. Parent didn’t mention they had it until after I discovered it and warned her. She was like, oh yeah, oops, we’ve had it for weeks and can’t get rid of it because we’re only trying “natural” treatments.🙄

Same situation in FCPS. Inept parents all over the place and schools refuse to stand up to them anymore.[/quote]

This is why I quit teaching.[/quote]
