Hello, I am in Washington State.
The situation is that my daughter was diagnosed with lice three weeks ago as school.
We are now in the 3rd week of treatment, my daughters hair has been inspected worked on every night. Yesterday we received a call from the school stating to pick up our daughter, she has lice.
We refused, as we are aware of the school policy (no live lice, eggs are ok) and we were aware that our daughter has no live lice. When they (the school nurse) checked her hair no live lice were found, only eggs.
The result of this though was that the principle of the school called our daycare center, who would be picking up my daughter and informed them that our daughter had lice (which they had been aware 3 weeks ago, but different daycare workers).
Now the question, is this an unlawful disclosure of personal information? Does the school have the right to relay medical information to non-affiliated daycare centers?
Sorry for the long post.
