[ISLMA-Share] Headphones in Lab

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our school's nurse has told staff, and parents, many, many times, that lice
does not get transmitted via headphones.

We have bins of headphones with mics that were purchased by our principal.
Each headphone set is kept in a plastic bag. Teachers can check out an
entire bin.

We have cheap headphones without mics for kids to borrow.

During PARCC testing, all school purchased headphones must be returned so
they can be used for testing.

We also put headphones/ear buds on our school supply list.
