Summary: This agreement supports the District Behavior Health Specialist staff plus secretarial staff who provide support to the district students who require mental health services at the Alliance Program and at the Sunrise Program.

The Mental Health Collaborative uses what is known as a braided funding model to fiscally support the program. Under this model, the county is billed for the entire cost of the program ($3,046,705) and reimburses the district in program 3669 - County Medi-Cal.

With the change to the AB 3632 funding model, the county then bills the district for the costs of students ineligible for Medi-Cal, and this is charged to program 1655 (the former AB 3632 funding). Students qualify for services based on their respective eligibility status. The revenue sources for 2011-2012 include: For Medi-Cal students, Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT). For non-Medi-Cal students, Mt. Diablo Unified School District, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), one-time funding from Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), and State Reallocation Funds based on an amount yet to be determined.

ALLIANCE PROGRAM:

7.0 FTE Behavior Health Specialist II
0.46875 FTE Secretary

SUNRISE PROGRAM:
8.0 FTE Behavior Health Specialist I
4.0 FTE Behavior Health Specialist II
0.46875 FTE Secretary

Both the Behavioral Health Specialist I and Behavioral Health Specialist II positions generate revenue by billing Medi-Cal through the County. For non-Medi-Cal students, Special Education will access funding through the above revenue streams.

Program costs including salaries and expenses are estimated at $3,046,705.00. To implement this program model, Behavioral Health Specialists I and Behavioral Health Specialists II are recruited and hired to provide services outlined above.
Funding: County Mental Health Medi-Cal Funding, IDEA, MHSA, and State Reallocation Funds. (Program 3669)
Fiscal Impact $3,046,705 reimbursed by Contra Costa Mental Health, Program 3669.
