Sadly, our health room budget would not otherwise allow this to happen.\r\n\r\nHaving the ability to have the community liasons provide tylenol or lice treatment kits for families when the child is either sick or has lice is an extreme cost saving for the families and not to mention time saving, especially if a child is sick nobody has to stop at the store for some medicine.
