RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Interagency Agreement #74-371-11 with Mt. Diablo Unified School District, a government agency, in an amount not to exceed $3,820,521, to provide school-based mental health services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020 in an amount not to exceed $1,775,863.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 46% by Federal Medi-Cal, 46% Mental Health Realignment Funds, 8% Mt. Diablo Unified School District. (Rate increase)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing school and community based mental health services, including assessments; individual, group and family therapy; medication support; case management; outreach; and crisis intervention services for children at Sunrise School, Fair Oaks Elementary and Olympic and Mt. Diablo High School, and their families.

On September 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #74-371-10 with Mt. Diablo Unified School District, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, for the provision of school-based mental health services to SED students.

Approval of Novation Interagency Agreement #74-371-11 replaces the automatic extension and will allow the Agency to continue providing services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: (CONT'D)

If this contract is not approved, SED children will have reduced access to treatment services and may require placement at higher level of care, including hospitalization or residential care in Mt. Diablo Unified School District.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This school-based 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).
