Item Title
C-17 Clay Behavioral Health Contract 2006-07
Issue/Rationale
This contract continues counseling services required for severe EH/SED students for the 2006-2007 school year. Services are provided by employees of Clay County Behavioral Health Center, Inc. on school campuses where severe students are located.
Mental Health counseling services are required to be offered to Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED) and Emotionally Handicapped Self-Contained (EHSC) students.
Recommended Action
The Superintendent recommends approval.
Financial Impact
Currently the district only pays for counseling that is not covered by CCBHC through their Medicaid billing. Consequently, we pay slightly more for the entire district on this contract as for our one Mental Health Counselor at BLC. In the past the School District of Clay County has covered approximately one third to one half of the cost.
