I Have Itchy Scalp With Bulbs And Then A Scab

I have itchy scalp with bulbs and then a scab on my scalp. When I pick off scab it is brownish in color and seems to be attached to hair follicles. Could this be a type of parasite? I have a young son in a small school (3rd grade). Is this a type of lice/germ?
