The Health Department is working with the Truancy Task Force and Children Services to help families with severe or recurring lice problems.  Some children have missed up to 45 days of school because of lice.  The Health Department sends a program coordinator to the home to assess the family's needs, educate them, provide shampoos and remove nits.
