Yoncalla district moves to a non‑exclusionary lice policy
Summary
Superintendent Brian Berry told the board the updated Board Policy JHCCF G1 on pediculosis will be "proactive and non-exclusionary," and that administrative regulations and a public letter will be posted on the district website and social media.
The Yoncalla School District Board reviewed proposed updates to Board Policy JHCCF G1 regarding pediculosis (lice) at its Nov. 20 meeting.
Superintendent Brian Berry said the updated policy would be "proactive and non-exclusionary, as lice is not a life-threatening issue," and that the district will update administrative regulations (ARs) to reflect best practices. Berry said the policy and a letter on the issue will be posted to the district website and shared on social media if approved.
The presentation framed the revisions as a shift toward non-exclusionary procedures and clearer parental communication rather than removing students from school for lice-related concerns.
