“No Nit” Policies Not The Wave of The Future

Some schools are permitting students with lice to attend  class, thus promoting the spreading of lice. School funding is directly linked to Average Daily Attendance (ADA).  Based on the top performing public schools in Pennsylvania (similar for all states) it costs approximately $70 to $80 per day to send a student to school.  When a student is absent from school that $70-$80 is considered lost funds.   If a student is absent on average 3 times in a school year that school loses $225 per student per school year.  If this happens spreading lice will be even more of a problem in schools.  The Nit Nanny Products are all natural and therefore not harmful with repeated use.
