| VISION STATEMENT: "The San Mateo–Foster City School District educates, inspires and empowers every student in every school every day to live, lead and learn with integrity and joy." |
| |
|
| The San Mateo-Foster City School District is contracting with Effective School Solutions (ESS) to provide Educationally-related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) for students across the district who have intensive emotional and behavioral challenges and who require such services under their Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs.) These services constitute “Level 3” in the District’s tiered approach to mental health service delivery. ESS services consist of individual therapy, family therapy, in-class “milieu” support, and level of care evaluations and referrals for students participating in the program. All services are delivered via a “blended” approach, meaning that they can be flexibly switched between in-person and virtual delivery to ensure continuity of care. |
| |
| IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE NON-PUBLIC AGENCY (NPA) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH EFFECTIVE SCHOOL SOLUTIONS FOR COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES CHARGED TO THE MENTAL HEALTH GRANT ALLOCATED TO THE SMFCSD. |
| $219,000.00 |
