RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #29-507-14 with West Contra Costa Unified School District, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $5,000, for the provision of mental health services to students and their families, for the period from September 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Interagency Agreement will result in a total payment to the County of $5,000. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Under this agreement, West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) will pay the County for the provision of mental health day treatment services to severely emotionally disturbed Special Education students and their families, who are participants in the Seneca Center’s Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program. This program will allow students to function effectively in school, at home and in the community, through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive payment for the provision of mental health day treatment services provided to severely emotionally disturbed students and their families during the term of this Contract.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
