12-13 Interagency Agreement _28-325-2.pdf
Summary: Interagency Agreement #28-325-2 establishes a set of working guidelines and procedures between Mental Health through its Educationally Related Mental Health Services Program (ERMHS) and the Local Education Agency (LEA) to provide educationally related mental health services to Med-Cal eligible children with disabilities in compliance with Federal and State laws governing each agency. LEA is responsible for paying the cost of IEP-driven educationally related mental health services for students who are not eligible for Medi-Cal.
On January 28, 2013, the Board of Education approved Interagency Agreement #28-325-2 in the amount of $2,200,000 funded by the state apportionment for mental health services (formerly AB3632). MDUSD received 3 unanticipated invoices after the close of the 2012-2013 FY. Final billing for 2012-2013 FY services under this agreement was received on December 4, 2013. Contra Costa County’s original contract projection was based on insufficient historical data as the 2012-2013 FY was the first full year for which MDUSD was obligated to pay for the ERMHS program.
In order to cover the total cost of the 2012-2013 FY school-based mental health services provided to students ineligible for Medi-Cal, Staff is requesting an increase to Interagency Agreement #28-325-2 in the amount of $853,000 from the state apportionment for mental health.
Funding: Program 1656 (Resource 6512) - AB114/26 Special Ed Mental Health
Fiscal Impact $853,000 from the State Apportionment for Mental Health. There is no fiscal impact to the general fund.
Recommendation: Approve contract increase to 2012-2013 Interagency Agreement #28-325-2 between MDUSD and Contra Costa County, Mental Health Services Division.
