Approve the proposed Broward Information Network (BIN) Agreements with Mental Health/Substance Abuse Providers.
One Community Partnership, a Broward County initiative funded by a $8 million Federal Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration grant, is charged with creating a virtual front door through which clients seeking mental health and/or substance abuse service can access services from multiple agencies without the need to submit duplicate applications/information. For agencies serving the same clients, relevant information can be shared once written informed consent from the parent/legal guardian has been obtained. The BIN has been designed to facilitate secure electronic sharing of information among health and human service agencies. The proposed BIN Agreements will (once written parental consent has been obtained) allow the school district and the agencies to exchange, via BIN, basic information about students seeking mental health or substance abuse services. It is anticipated that improved access to services and increases collaboration among service providers will be beneficial to students and their families.
The School Board Attorney has approved this contract as to form.
The district’s contribution is in the SSS/ESE Department’s general fund. There is no additional financial impact to the school district.
