PLEASE HELP US KEEP HEAD LICE OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS

The Issue

School District 71 is allowing children to attend classes, as normal, while infected with contagious head lice. The lice is infecting other children, teachers, and everyones families. This is causing un-necessary emotional stress.

MANY schools in BC do still enforce strict head lice policies which include: head checks, sending home infected chidlren, and not allowing them to return to school until the lice is completely gone. But not SD #71

THIS NEEDS TO STOP especially when the solution is so simple, kids with lice need to be kept home until treated properly.
