County
Subject:Interagency Agreement #28–325-1 with Mt. Diablo Unified School District
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
contract with County for mental health services for in-state residential facilities case
management services, to include travel and expenses, and outpatient mental health services
through subcontracts with community based organizations that currently provide these
services to eligible students. This Contract is a renewal of the previous six-month contract.
The amount of funding has doubled because of the 12 month term beginning July 1, 2011.
This contract request did not go forward July 1, because the MOU was not developed
between the County’s SELPA Administrative Units and County’s Mental Health Division
during this transitional year. Further, terms of the allocation of AB 100 funding had not
been agreed upon by the parties.
Under Interagency Agreement #28–325-1, Agency will pay County for the provision of
residential and school-based day treatment and mental health services, through June 30,
2012, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising
out of the performance of this Contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not approved, Agency will not pay County for residential and
school-based day treatment and mental health services, so special education students within
the Mt. Diablo Unified School District will not receive the mental health services that they
need, and as a result, may require treatment at a higher level of service.
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).
