(2) The parent's choice of nurse is employed by a nursing agency and willing to provide the nursing services required by the child's IEP.

(3) The nursing agency employing the parent's choice of nurse is willing to enter into a contract with the local educational agency that otherwise meets the standard contract terms required for any other nursing agency contracted by the local educational agency, including licensing and liability requirements.

(4) The contracted rate is equal to or less than the contracted rate of other nurses contracted by the local educational agency.

(c) This section shall not be construed to limit the local educational agency's responsibility to provide a free appropriate public education.
