Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) Grant - Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with Santa Barbara County Education Office (SBCEO) and Santa Barbara County School Districts, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness, or designee, to execute MOUs with the SBCEO and various Santa Barbara County school districts in form and content substantially similar to the template, for mental health services for children and youth through school-based programs, through September 30, 2025;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to make immaterial changes to the MOUs without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the MOUs, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
