CEO Council approved (May 2016) Allocation Plan language for 2016-17 to ensure predictability of funding. Based on the Allocation Plan guidelines, SELPA Administration set the 2016-17 minimum per student reimbursement level at the state LI per pupil funding rate of $433. Based on claims submitted, a finding will be made in May 2017 to determine if funding could be set at a higher level of reimbursement. This information has been communicated to the field. This is an information item, no action requested.
INDIVIDUAL ITEMS REQUIRING CEO COUNCIL ACTION
12. Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) Budget The 2016-17 ERMHS budget of $11.4 M. is presented for CEO Council approval with details provided in Attachment 12.
SELPA leadership (with review/input by CEO Executive Committee) made the following finding of sufficiency of funding for 2016-17:
The maximum per service rate is established at $3,300. $100K will be available for Level 2 transportation reimbursement – outside of
the Level 2 service cap/ADA formula. The intent is to provide 80% funding for
El Dorado County Charter SELPA CEO Council Meeting September 22, 2016 Agenda Page -5-
eligible costs. If $100K is not sufficient, funding will be pro-rated based on claims submitted at year end.
Indirect costs will be allowed for Level 2.
Before May 2017, SELPA Leadership will make a finding as to the ability to fund beyond the 80% and 90% parameters established in the Allocation Plan. The significant variables impacting this finding are the January 2017 Level 2 budget requests submitted and the Level 3 NPS budget requests submitted throughout the year.
Recommendation
CEO Council action is requested to approve the 2016-17 ERMHS budget of $11.4 (as shown in Attachment 12), with the primary elements being a Level 2 allocation of $8.1 M and Level 3 allocation of $3 M.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Charter SELPA CEO Council will be held on May 25th, 2017 at the Doubletree by Hilton San Diego Mission Valley Hotel.
