Open Provide funding for nit nurses to visit schools

Created by Amy Thompson
Closes on

We believe that we need nit nurses back in schools. We think there needs to be more in place than just an email to parents instructing them to check their child’s hair.

Schools do not physically check students' hair, but the nit nurse could.
