Coordinator, Mental Health Services.pdf
Summary: Assembly Bill 114, signed into law on June 30, 2011, eliminated all statute and regulations related to AB 3632. AB 114 ended the state mandate on county mental health agencies to provide mental health services to students with disabilities and transferred this responsibility to education. With the passage of AB 114, school districts are now solely responsible for providing and funding educationally related mental health services, including residential and other related services.
To ensure that students with mental health-related disabilities are able to effectively access and benefit from District mental health programs and services, Staff is requesting the creation of a job description for Coordinator, Mental Health Services to describe the scope and responsibility of the position under the supervision of the Assistant Superintendent, Pupil Services and Special Education. The salary range of this position will be 25 with a work year of 207 days.
The position will be fully funded by the State Apportionment for Mental Health and the Federal IDEA Mental Health Services Grant. Accordingly, the position will monitor and administer categorical/restricted revenue received for mental health services to ensure that funds are fully and efficiently expended within the grant award period.
Funding: N/A
