Closed bring back the nit nurse and give compulsory absence until treatment is complete

Closed on

parents are fed up with the amount of money we are having to spend on nit lotions just for other parents to be allowed to leave their children covered in nits, untreated and uncomfortable.

after speaking to other parents we have all agreed we want a nit nurse back and compulsory absence until treatment is complete.
after speaking to the school they are not 'allowed' to single out parents and refuse to send out a letter and the also see it as unauthorised absence if you keep your children on due to them having nits!
