School Loosen Their Head Lice Policies

Link to February 19 AP article, "Schools are no longer nitpicky about head lice". (Found via detentionslip.org)

Excerpt: It's a change recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of School Nurses, and it has been welcomed by many educators and parents, who worried that students were missing too much school, moms and dads were missing work, and children were being made to feel ashamed.
