BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
placements.
On November 6, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-925-20 (as amended by Contract
Amendment Agreement #24-925-21) with Lincoln Child Center, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2012 through June
30, 2013, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2013, for the provision of
school-based mental health services for SED students and their families.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-925-22 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services, including a multi-dimensional family treatment program through June 30,
2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, over 200 SED students, in ten East Contra Costa County schools, would have access
to mental health services delayed as the County solicited and engaged an alternative contractor. This delay could
necessitate higher levels of care for those students.
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).
