5062: Lice and Nits
Upon discovering the presence of live lice or louse eggs, the ESU will notify the student’s parent(s) or guardian(s). The student will be isolated from contact with other students and their belongings, and a parent or guardian must pick the child up from the ESU or its program immediately.
By Nebraska DHHS regulation, students are not permitted to return to the ESU or its programs until the student is treated such that no live lice or louse eggs can be detected. The parent(s) or guardian(s) will be required to treat the student and accompany the student to the ESU or its program to be examined. The student cannot ride the ESU transportation until the ESU has cleared the student to return to the ESU or its programs.
