The CDC's current guidelines state that students can stay in school until the end of the day if found with head lice. This guidance hasn't changed in over a decade.
Dr. Dawn Nolt explained that head lice are a nuisance rather than a serious health threat, emphasizing that lice don’t carry additional diseases.
Nolt indicated that treatment for lice is simple, and parents shouldn't worry too much about kids getting lice, as transmission in classrooms is relatively difficult.
