Head Lice (Pediculosis) is commonly referred to as a nuisance disease because it rarely is associated with serious medical complications. The parasite can spread easily in schools through close personal contact with another infected individual or through the sharing of grooming aids or clothing items. Instructions for the prevention and treatment of head lice can be obtained from the secretary in each school office or from the District Office.
