RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #29-513-19 with Mount Diablo Unified School District, a government agency, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $533,891, to provide professional school-based mental health services, crisis intervention, and day treatment for certain Special Education and regular students, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Interagency Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $533,891 from Mount Diablo Unified School District. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

Fred Finch Youth Center, Families First, and Seneca Residential & Day Treatment Center for Children work collaboratively with the County and school district personnel in developing program services and policies. The primary goal of the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) Program and non-Medi-Cal mental health programs, are to continue to provide seriously emotionally disturbed children with the services and the support they need to function effectively in school, at home, and in the community.

Approval of Interagency Agreement #29-513-19 will allow Mount Diablo Unified School District to continue to pay the County for the provision of professional mental health services through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, special education and regular students will not receive school-based mental health services and crisis intervention services.

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).
