Fieldston School hit by lice outbreak.
The Manhattan campus of Ethical Culture Fieldston School is facing a lice outbreak, and one expert says that classrooms across New York City are battling the bugs. The owner of Licenders, Adie Horowitz, said that lice have returned to city schools with a vengeance after a brief coronavirus hiatus. Parents and insiders claimed administrators initially refused to conduct a school-wide screening of students and delayed alerting parents about the outbreak. The best thing that a school can do is periodic screenings, four times a year, which is what schools used to do before COVID.
