The fire last night at 252 Laurel Street (This one hadn't been posted as I was not on the scanner at the time but someone on the page mentioned it):
Manchester police and the fire department are investigating a suspicious fire at 252 Laurel Street. A tenant called in the fire that had been started on the door frame of the convenience store that is located on the first floor. The fire went to one alarm and was quickly put out by the FD. It caused around $20,000 in damage. Tenants ran out to the cold street when their smoke detectors went off. The flames had made their way up to the second floor in the walls which firefighters had to cut through to extinguish the flames. The tenants were allowed to go back into their apartments but the store will be closed until the health inspector can look it over.

Manchester School District's head lice policy:
The Manchester School District will be looking to change their head lice policy to put themselves more in line with the state regulations that other school districts enforce. As of right now the policy is that any child that is found to have lice while at school will be sent home immediately and not allowed to return after the appropriate measures have been taken to ensure that the lice is gone and they are checked out by a school nurse. The new policy would state that the child should only be sent home if they are uncomfortable and can return the next day. The officials have said that there is no evidence that sending the child home right away is any more effective at reducing the chance of spreading it than if they stayed for the rest of the day. There are many parents that may be concerned about this policy change. It was rejected last year when it was brought up at a school board meeting. State guidelines state that despite what people may think lice cannot jump from person to person without direct contact. Lice are spread when one person that has it touches another person directly where the lice are or by sharing a comb, clothing, or other personal items. The school board says that better education for parents is needed on how to prevent head lice and how to spot it before the child is sent to school.
