Petition Bring Back Nitty Nora

More details

I am creating this e-petition on behalf of all children of school age.

There is a forever ongoing issue with head lice in many school settings, many of which could easily have been treated.
Sadly not all parents have either time, money or they simply deny their children ever get them.
I would like the nit nurse to be reinstated in all schools, to help combat the ever increasing matter.
This will allow children to be checked and treated in school on a rugular basis, and information handed to all parents about what to look for and treatments available.

We have laws to protect animals from being left riddled with fleas, so let's do the same for children with headlice.

I know some people will not agree with this, but it is not fair to let children suffer in this way.
So please let's get Nitty Nora back to school and see if we can bust some bugs out.
