Subject:Novation Contract #74-321-8 with Bay Area Community Resources, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On September 17, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-321-6 (as amended by Contract
Amendment Agreement #74-321-7) with Bay Area Community Resources, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2013
through June 30, 2014, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014, for the
provision of school-based mental health services for SED students.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-321-8 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract, allowing the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this novation 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
