County
Subject:Novation Contract #24-133-60 with La Cheim School, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
who are eligible for services according to the Federal Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) or who are wards or dependents of Contra Costa County Juvenile
Court.
On February 8, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-133-59
with La Cheim School, Inc., for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011,
which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the
provision of school-based day treatment and health services.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-133-60 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, there will be fewer treatment options for wards of the
Contra Costa County Juvenile Court, and County’s Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED)
clients in West Contra Costa County as the County solicits and engages an alternate
contractor. This may result in delays in the provisions of these treatment services as required
by the Federal IDEA Act.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This 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).
