Does anyone drive students home?

[Nurse ABC]

There are times I haven't been able to reach a parent (which is usually for lice) and I've learned that some of the nurses in our district have taken kids home if needed. It's always cases where they know the parent is home (just out of minutes on their phone, asleep, etc). I don't feel comfortable with this. First of all, I don't want to take the chance of a louse getting in my car (the kids at my school enjoy picking them out!) . Secondly, I worry about the liability. What does everyone else think?

Nope, for all the reasons listed above.

No - I would not do it. A couple of times our principal & counselor have driven a student home but it was not for medical reasons.
