BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMM ENDATION(S):
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides a half-day
intensive day treatment, mental health services and medication support in a residential treatment
setting for twelve (12) emotionally disturbed youth, ages twelve through seventeen years, who are
AB3632 eligible or who are wards or dependents of Contra Costa County Juvenile Court.
On July 12, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-133-52 with La
Cheim School, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 (with a six-month
automatic extension through December 31, 2006), for the provision of School-based day treatment
and mental health services.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-133-54 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2007.
