To date, there have been a few reported cases of head lice at schools across the district.   Per the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), NASN (National Association of School Nurses), AAP (The American Academy of Pediatrics) and the MDPH (Massachusetts Department of Public Health), no nit policies are no longer advised.  It is also their position that classroom checks should not be done because of the stigma, embarrassment and a student’s right to confidentiality.
