  Case: Disgusting
More often than not, I have a student that shows up to class with lice. I have sent her to the clinic numerous times. I have sent notes home numerous times. Still, she comes to class with lice. What do I do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The student simply is not allowed in the classroom when they have lice. Since the parents do not seem to respond, I would look into CPS as this is harming to the student and keeping them from school. I would conference with the parents first to see the cause of the lice and to explain the importance of curing it so that she can return to school. If nothing changes, I would call CPS.

Comments: I think it is important to keep in mind that this could be an incidence of neglect. I agree that it might be time to let administration know so that you and an administrator can contact CPS.

Comments: I agree while this can be many things prolonged infection of headlice is often a sign of neglect or abuse so if nothing changes CPS certainly needs to be contacted
