Subject:Novation Contract #74–287–6 with FamiliesFirst,
Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Novation Contract #74–287–5 with FamilesFirst, Inc. for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, which
included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, for the provision of school based mental
health services for seriously emotionally disturbed students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District and their

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County will be out of legal compliance with federal IDEA law that mandates a free
and appropriate education for seriously and emotionally disturbed children.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This IDEA program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and
Succeeding in School” 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).
