Summary: This agreement supports the District's school psychologists who provide Child-Family Team (CFT) facilitation and Counseling Clinic services to District students and families who require mental health services. The Board of Education first approved this agreement in 2001. The program has grown from a .50 FTE school psychologist position to 5.4 FTE school psychologists' positions. Administration recommends two additional psychologists be funded to provide support for additional students and their families. District psychologists bill for their services through County Mental Health Medi-Cal. It is anticipated that all salaries and expenses for these services will continue to be covered by the monthly billings generated by the school psychologists to Medi-Cal and SB90, a claiming mechanism for students who qualify for services under AB3632. This collaboration with the District and Contra Costa Health Services, Mental Health Division is considered a model program in the state. In November 2007, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors recognized this program for its exemplary service to students.
Funding: Contra Costa County Mental Health Medi-Ca Reimbursement, Program Code 3630 - $893,904 and Program Code 1652 - $37,048.
Fiscal Impact $930,952
