Reason for Recommendation:
Black Oak Mine Unified School District (BOMUSD) was awarded an Elementary/Middle School Counseling Grant by the U.S. Department of Education. Through the proposed Agreement, BOMUSD will provide funding to the Mental Health Division (MHD) to enable MHD's participation in quarterly collaborative team meetings to address children's mental health services. The meetings will involve BOMUSD, MHD, and other community partners providing children's mental health services and will address: coordination and collaboration to improve service linkages and increase services for children and families in the community served by BOMUSD; procedure development and training relative to psychiatric emergencies; and collaboration with other contracted partners to improve outreach and identification of children and families who require services. MHD will also conduct quarterly case management meetings with contracted counseling service providers and counselors within BOMUSD.
Agreement Term:
This Agreement covers the period from September 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011. Efforts to develop this agreement began well prior to the beginning of the school year; however, delays were encountered in: developing a mutually agreeable scope of work that limits MHD's participation to the available funding; determining how MHD's services would be billed; ensuring County review and approval processes were followed; and time needed for BOMUSD's review and approval.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Chairman to sign two (2) original Agreements.
2. Board Clerk’s Office to return one (1) original Agreement to the Health Services Department, Mental Health Division.
3. Mental Health Division to distribute as appropriate.
Contact: Neda West, Health Services Department
Concurrences: This Agreement has been approved by County Counsel and Risk Management and a copy is on file in the Board Clerk’s Office.
