BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
School District as well as by providing residential day treatment at the Contractor’s facility, when necessary, TBS
for County-referred children in need of short-term behavioral intervention.
On January 8, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-778-21 with FamiliesFirst, 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 mental health services to SED children including school- and
community-based services, day treatment and TBS.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-778-22 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows

experience out of County and out of State placement.
