RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #28-697-11 with Antioch Unified School District, a government agency, to pay County an amount not to exceed $5,600, for the Public Health Clinic Services Scoliosis Screening Project for its 7^th and 8^th grade students, for the period from November 1, 2013 through August 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Interagency Agreement will allow Antioch School District to pay County $4.00 per student to support the Public Health Clinic Services Scoliosis Screening Project. No County funds are required and no increase in rate payable to County.

BACKGROUND:

Antioch School District has requested that Contra Costa Health Services, Public Health Clinic Services, provide Scoliosis Screening Clinics at their middle schools for their 7^th grade girls and 8^th grade boys, throughout the school year. By providing an outreach program such as the scoliosis screening of their students, the School District is able to provide a valuable diagnostic and preventative service to their students who might otherwise go untreated.

Approval of Interagency Agreement #28-697-11 will allow Agency to offer continuous scoliosis-screening services to its students, through August 31, 2014. Due to services not being used until the beginning of the school-year, the contract was not renewed in a timely manner.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the county will not receive funds in order to screen for scoliosis in approximately 1,400 7th and 8th grade students in Antioch Unified School District.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Scoliosis Screening clinics provide a valuable diagnostic and preventative service to approximately 1,400 students in Antioch Unified School District middle schools. Approval of this contract would create an opportunity for students, who might otherwise go untreated, to receive free screening.
