As head lice are highly contagious, their elimination requires a community-based effort. Head lice primarily affect young children, therefore schools are in a prime position to take action in this area.

BANLICE® is pleased to bring you a suggested Schools Action Plan. It consists of using education materials for teachers and parents to help solve the problem of head lice. It includes materials to send home with students PLUS special advertisements for placement in your school newsletter to alert parents of an outbreak of head lice.

Each of the materials have been designed to be viewed on screen then printed off for further reference and distribution to families within your school.
