Parents can choose their child’s IEP nurse
Effective July 1, 2025, and applying in the 2025–2026 school year, schools must honor a parent’s choice of nurse for IEP-required nursing when all conditions are met. Your child must have used that nurse before the IEP required nursing or before enrolling in the current school. The nurse must be licensed under Article 9A of Chapter 90 and work for a nursing agency that will sign the school’s standard contract, including licensing and liability terms. The nurse must agree to provide the IEP services, and the agency’s rate must be at or below what the school pays other contracted nurses. Schools may also contract with private special education providers more broadly, not only when public providers are unavailable.
