Subject:Novation Contract #74–334–5 with Seneca Family of Agencies
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Emotionally Disturbed (SED) school aged children and their families.
On June 15, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–334–3 (as amended by
Amendment Agreement #74-334-4), with Seneca Residential and Day Treatment Center for
Children (now known as Seneca Family of Agencies), for the period from July 1, 2010
through June 30, 2011, with an automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the
provision of school-based mental health services for SED students.
Approval of Contract #74 334-5 will replace the automatic extension under the prior
contract and allows Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, SED children will not receive the services they need,
possibly resulting in a higher level of care.
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).
