I sent up an ICE comment about this last week. Ms. Faerber called me the very next morning. It is not the school that doesn't want to inform parents. It's Dodea that decided about this policy. Obviously they must have never delt with lice because not allowing the school to inform parents is wreckless.

this petition is a great idea. my child nor wife and I need to be catching lice due to negligence at the school. a policy needs to be put in place.

As a parent whose child was recently affected by this outbreak, I wholeheartedly support this change in policy.

There needs to be a policy and inform the parents of such outbreak! The CDC and SAC informs us. I would have never known if it wasn't for them. It's appalling that the school doesn't inform the parents. My child attends Graf, but goes to SAC and this still effects her and Graf should be held to the same standards as well.

If a child is to be shown to have lice, they MUST be sent home as well as a letter sent home to all parents in the class of that child. This is how schools handle said situations . Not only do schools follow this but so do daycares. This is appalling andthe manner in which DoDea schools handle these situations needs to be changed to reflect what is followed by all schools nationwide .

Yes, something needs to be done! I've worked in a school district before and the kids who had lice would have to leave and could not return until they had a note from the doctors and started treatment for it.

This need to be better handled. The school needs to start ensuring that these type of situations are handled way better and other parents are notified
