Pediculosis, or better known as Head Lice, is an active infestation within Dufur School District. Show your support for a "No Live Bugs" policy by signing this petition. Dufur School Board needs to adopt and implement a policy that excludes students from the classroom when live lice bugs are evident. This policy would require a signed statement from the student's guardian stating the student's hair has been treated and would require a head check prior to the student returning to the classroom. This policy would also establish written guidelines for lice screenings, parent notifications and reassessments of infected students within 7-10 days. This request for a No Live Bugs policy would be based upon similar policies from like school districts. Together we can make a difference. Thank you for your support.

Glad to see the community taking action. Conversations with school administration has gone nowhere in the past. Thanks for putting this petition together.
I own a hair salon in the Dalles. I have been doing hair in this town for 15 years. I can count on one hand how many people I have had to turn away because of having lice, in those 15 years. This last fall we had to turn away 6 Dufur students, in one week, that have come in for hair appointments. My son also had to be treated because of students in his class that have been left untreated and/or unchecked, passing this around. This is a HUGE PROBLEM!!!! This needs to be addressed and controlled.
I missed 2 days of work and spent $220.00 on a visit at a professional lice removal facility in Portland. I don't want to hear of anymore parents or children having to go through this.
My oldest daughter (5th grader) has had it so many times this year! It wasn't until we chopped her hair off, that she finally has been headlice free for a couple months now. It's the worst it's ever been.
I was shocked that Dufur School District allowed active Head Lice cases to infect other students. The only success other school districts have had in controlling an epidemic is keeping an infected student from contact with other students!
I would be freaking if my kids were around that. Not ok. Treat it low any sickness that's contagious. No school till its competitors gone for 24 hrs or more!
Safety of all children and their households are paramount!

I'm very surprised that this is not already a policy. I thought all public schools had a no-live bug policy. This definitely needs to be adopted.
