Parent urges district to change lice policy, requests universal notification
Summary
A parent told the board he believes there is an ongoing lice problem and urged the district to change its policy so all parents are notified when lice are detected in a school.
During the public comment period, parent Cory Burke told the board he believes the district is experiencing a lice epidemic and asked that the district revise its lice policy to notify all parents when lice is detected. Burke said he wants consistent notification for families across the district so parents can check and treat children promptly.
The board did not take immediate action on the request at the March 18 meeting; matters of policy review are typically routed to administration or the policy committee for consideration. The comment was part of the public comment sequence recorded in SEG 014.
