13.e. Policy JHCCF: Pediculosis (Head Lice)
Description:
Guidance on exclusion of students found with head lice has changed in recent years. There is now a consensus from other agencies, i.e., National Association of School Nurses, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Oregon School Nurses Association, which recommends against excluding students with head lice or nits from the classroom. Additionally, a rule, originally found in an Oregon Health Authority rule (OAR 333-019-0010), which allowed schools to create exclusionary practices for head lice, has since been repealed.
For more information and instruction, schools should refer to the OHA published Communicable Disease Guidance for Schools.
