Subject:Novation Contract #74-321-5 with Bay Area Community Resources, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. Both Contracts included a six-month automatic extension
through December 31, 2012, for the provision of school-based mental health services for SED students.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-321-5 combines similar children’s specialty mental health services, replaces the
automatic extensions under the prior Contracts, allowing the Contractor to continue providing services through June
30, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer school-based mental health services available to SED students and
their families possibly resulting in the need for higher levels of care.
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).
