#74-224-4
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides a half-day
Intensive Day Treatment Program, mental health services and medication support in a school
setting for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth, ages six through nineteen years. The
program maintains an ongoing census of approximately 47 youth for the County and serves
approximately 70 minors per year.
On July 12, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-224-3 with La Cheim School,
Inc., for the period from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 (with an automatic extension through
December 31, 2006), for provision of a School-based Intensive Day Treatment Program and
mental health services.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-224-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2007.
