Summary: The Board of Education approved the development and funding for the Mental Health Collaborative (MHC) on April 10, 2001. The MHC is funded with a “braided” funding model designed to support the program. Students qualify for services based on their respective eligibility status. The revenue source for Medi-Cal clients includes Early Periodic Screening and Diagnosis and Treatment (Medi-Cal). Revenue sources for non Medi-Cal Special Education students with I.E.P.’s include, for 2011-2012, one-time Mental Health Services Act funding; Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and State reallocation funds based on a formula yet to be determined. Services are provided by school district staff, County Mental Health staff, and the staff of Families First, Inc., Fred Finch Youth Center, and Seneca Center. The total cost of Medi-Cal services would be $2.7 million if the District were to attempt to provide intensive mental health services to eligible students independent of Contra Costa Mental Health.
Funding: General Fund/Special Education, Program Code 1652
Fiscal Impact $983,111. The 2011-2012 fiscal impact to Education has remained the same. This amount is a required District match to support the special education program.
Recommendation: Approve an extension to the agreement with Contra Costa County Health Services Department, Mental Health Division.
