Parent/Legal Guardian Lice Disclosure from Schools in Utah

The purpose of this petition is to ask the schools in Utah to inform parents when there is a lice situation, lice alert, and/or lice outbreak in their perspective schools by either sending out an e-mail, text, or some sort of communication/notification. By doing so, this will give the parents time to be proactive in checking their kid(s) heads to either prevent and/or treat lice where applicable. Early detection is preferred to help stop and prevent further exposure to other individuals.
We know that lice have evolved to be resistant to the pesticides used in most drug store products. So, while those products no longer work to kill lice, Lice Clinics of America (L.C.A.) have the cure. LCA has over 300 clinics worldwide, in 34 countries. We have completed over 400,000 successful treatments with a 99.2% success rate. We are the home of the "One and Done" treatment and offer a guarantee because of our ground-breaking technology called the AirAllé®. We recommend to our clients after have been treated in our clinics, to contact their kids’ schools directly to inform them of their lice situation. Majority of times, they have been told by their perspective schools that they do not do anything about it because it would cause a state of panic, or that they follow the CDC and/or AAP guidelines. Lice are considered “a nuisance, not a serious disease or a sign of poor hygiene” per the American Academy of Pediatrics. Families that are treated in our Clearfield clinic feel likewise. Parents notice the affects lice have on their children’s’ psychological and emotional disposition. Often times, children also develop anxiety knowing that they have bugs in their hair and lose sleep because of it. Moms (and Dads) are exhausted and traumatized from taking time off from work to clean (repeatedly) and treat their child(ren). Families that come in to our Clearfield clinic tend to be furious, upset and in arms when they realize there have been other incidences at their children’s school and no notice was given. They understand that their children may have gotten it in other places however also realize that patterns tend to develop as well. Because of these pattern that we identify here at Lice Clinics of America- Clearfield, we decided to start this petition. We are aware there is a long road in front of us, but like the families that come in to our clinic, we have chosen to be proactive in assisting them regarding this matter.
Lice Clinics of America- Clearfield’s intentions are to help educate and be a resource to our local communities. We feel knowledge is power and want to do our part to educate, break myths, provide preventative tips, and end the negative stigmatism that surround lice, and hopefully help prevent exposure to other individuals, etc.
