Some local parents are itching to make a detailed presentation to the Hastings Prince Edward District School Board Monday night.
Parents were outraged recently when the public school board changed its policy regarding head lice.
The local board is joining many others in allowing students with head lice to remain in the classrooms instead of having parents keep them at home until the nits clear up.
Many parents have taken issue with the decision, and, in fact, have a petition with over 1,500 signatures asking that the board change its policy back to the old one.
Monday, parents will make their pitch in person to the school board at a regular public meeting, at 7 p.m. at the Education Centre on Ann Street, in Belleville’s east end.
