BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
children and their families.
On February 8, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–387-2 with Seneca
Residential and Day Treatment Center for Children (now known as Seneca Family of
Agencies), for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, with an automatic
extension through December 31, 2011, for the provision of school-based mental health
services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed students at Kennedy High School in Richmond.
Approval of Novation Contract #74–387–3 will replace the automatic extension under the
prior contract and allows the Contractor to provide additional services at Pinole Middle
School and Tara Hills Elementary School and to continue to provide services at Kennedy
High School, through June 30, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer school-based services in West Contra
Costa County as the County solicits and engages an alternate contractor. This delay could
result in higher levels of care for SED students.
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).
