Certified school funding shall not be available for the following services:
(a) Family planning.
(b) Immunizations.
(c) Prenatal care.
(2) The Agency for Health Care Administration shall monitor compliance of each participating school district with the Medicaid provider agreements. In addition, the Agency for Health Care Administration shall develop standardized record-keeping procedures for the school districts that meet Medicaid requirements for audit purposes.
