Subject:Novation Contract #74–287–7 with FamiliesFirst, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On January 11, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–287–6
with FamilesFirst, Inc. for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, which
included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the provision of
school based mental health services for seriously emotionally disturbed students in the Mt.
Diablo Unified School District and their families.
Approval of Novation Contract #74–287–7 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2012.
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).
