Whenever a student is found to be infested with head lice, s/he is to be sent home for treatment and not readmitted until the parent completes Form 8451 F3.

The necessary treatment is contained in Form 8451 F1 which is to be sent to the parent along with the cover letter (Form 8451 F2).

The other students in the infested student's classroom should be examined for evidence of either the lice or lice eggs (nits). The examinations should be done by the school nurse and/or the classroom teacher.
