#74-224-7
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides an 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 November 27, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-224-5 (as amended.by
Amendment Agreement #74-224-6) with La Cheim School, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2007
through June 30, 2008, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31,
2008, for provision of a school-based day treatment program and mental health services.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-224-7 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2009.
