[quote=Anonymous]PP and I’m going to mention that possibly in the interest of stabilizing attendance, students with active, visible live lice can stay in school. Yes, even if they are scratching and uncomfortable and even if the teacher notices. Lice is now considered a public health “nuisance.” Possibly a principal can override but this is the new health department-FCPS agreement.

Also same protocol dictates that a student can also stay in school even after vomiting. If it’s a one-time event and without a fever and or diarrhea, can stay in school. A kid can have a jacking dry cough all day long and if there’s no fever, they stay. Oh - red, itchy eyes are fine but if there’s mucus or goopy discharge- sent home.

Ticket home is report of diarrhea, fever over 100.4 longer than 20 minutes, or anything that requires a 911 call or delivery of an epi pen.

Students sent home w/ diarrhea/fever/vomiting are told to be asymptomatic and fever free for 24 hours without use of analgesics or something like Pepto.
