Does your child's school have a "lice policy?"?

Talking with another mother on the playground yesterday she said that Vermont is the only state that has a big lice problem because our children are not sent home from school if they have lice/nits. We as parents are not even told if there is lice in your child's classroom (which I don't think is OK). Do other people have lice problems in their schools? Does your school have a "lice policy"? Let me know what state you are from too. I would love to let this person know that it is not just Vermont, or maybe she is right either way I would love to know. Yes two of my boys had lice last year.

    Im a kid in high school but in the UK, my kid sisters school has a lice problem and she has caught it alot! and nobody is doing anything about it! not even the teachers there was a letter saying about lice but there not sorting it! my sisters lice has gone but she could get it again because sooo many kids have it. They really should get something to treat it.

    There is no point to keep your kid at home on this day. My school did it last year and will probably be doing it again. Very few people participated in it and there was only a small population in the school that even new it was going on. It is not something that is advertised, just something a kid can choose to participate in. It does not promote homosexuality or get into the discussion of morals, all that it is doing is trying to help raise tolerance towards individuals. If you promote intolerance toward homosexuality that opens the door for millions of other intolerance levels.
