Subject:Novation Contract #24-925-25 with Lincoln Child Center, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
elementary and junior high aged students in East County in order to reduce the need for out-of-home placements.
On September 17, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-925-22 (as amended by Contract
Amendment Agreements #24-925-23 and #24-925-24) with Lincoln Child Center, 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 and a multi-dimensional family treatment program for SED students
and their families, including members of the Katie A subclass.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-925-25 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services, through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, over 200 SED students, in ten East Contra Costa County schools, as well as Katie
A subclass members, would not 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).
