On December 6, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–315–6 with Community Options
for Families and Youth, Incorporated for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, which included a
six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, for the provision of TBS.

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).
