Ms. Jessica Bingham to the 2018 Annual Conference on Advancing School Mental Health on October 10-13, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

General Fund Budget Extension for 2017/1819 (A1) We will be presenting you with Resolution 18-08: NEWESD 101 General Fund Budget Extension for the 2017/18 Fiscal Year for your review and approval, specifically an increase in our 2017/2018 General Fund appropriation of $2,000,000. This is due to the fact that while we did include budget capacity for our construction project in the current budget, it is possible that we may exceed the amount we initially estimated. In order to be prudent, we ask that you approve this budget extension so as not to exceed the original budget appropriation that was approved by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Discussion/Action Items 1. Presentation: Children’s Mental Health Regional Pilot (A2)-Mr. Andrew Bingham— Mr. Bingham is responsible for coordinating Medicaid billing for schools, facilitating provider partnerships, assessing school based services, delivering mental health literacy curriculum, and attaining behavioral health agency licensure. The goal of the pilot is to cultivate cross system regional and state collaboration, between schools and communities, and to increase equitable access to care for students in need of behavioral health supports.

2. Construction update—an update on the construction project will be provided to include a review of the schedule for completion of the first phase (new event center), leading to the second phase (refresh of the current conference center).

3. AESD Executive Board meeting report—Ms. June Sine will report on the AESD Board meeting.

4. AESD Interlocal Agreement (A3)—I will share the updated AESD Interlocal Agreement. The change to the Agreement is in section C-iv, which designates NEWESD 101 as the AESD fiscal agent. Each ESD Board is requested to approve the revised interlocal agreement.

5. Board engagement reports—Board members will report on activities in which they have been engaged in their role as a NEWESD Board member, with particular emphasis on their selected area(s) of liaison with agency areas of service.

6. Superintendent’s report—I will provide an update on recent activities and meetings including the most recent NEWESD superintendents’ meetings, new projects, contracts, school district cooperative information, items of interest to the Board and assistance we are providing to local school districts.

7. Collective Bargaining Agreement Amendment (A4)—in July, I provided the Board with changes to the Collective Bargaining Agreement between NEWESD 101 and the NEWESD Education Association. The association membership approved the changes on July 31, 2018, and I will request that the Board ratify the proposed changes.

8. Reinstatement of surplus item (A5)—on April 17, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a three-page list of 2018 surplus inventory. Subsequent to your approval, our Technology Department thought it would be advantageous to maintain one of the projectors on the surplus list (see page 1, barcode number 5581)

5 as a backup for conference center use. To that end, we are now asking that you take formal action to reinstate this item to our inventory system.

9. Resolution 18-09: NEWESD 101 Special Education Assurances and Policies (A6)—in order to receive federal grant funding, the Board must annually adopt assurances and policies supporting the education of students with disabilities. I recommend the Board approve Resolution 18-09, adopting the Special Education Assurances and Policies as presented in order to apply for federal grant funding.

10. Policy 503: Subsistence and Lodging (first reading) (A7)—this summer the Washington State Office of Financial Management made two changes to travel regulations related to meals reimbursement. A first reading of a revised Policy 503 will be presented.

11. Proposed Agency, Board and Superintendent Goals 2018-19 (A8)—the proposed goals for 2018-19 will be presented for Board review and input. As part of this, Board liaison assignments for the year will need to be determined. Action to finalize approval of the 2018-19 goals will be recommended.

12. Upcoming events—the Board will be invited to several annual events: a. All Staff Event, August 23, 2018, West Valley High School b. Spokane County School Directors Association Dinner, October 25, 2018, Westwood Elementary, Cheney School District c. 2018 WSSDA Annual Conference, November 15-17, 2018, Davenport Hotel, Spokane d. AESA Annual Conference, November 28-December 1, 2018, Colorado Springs (A9)

Better Health Together Spokane Collaborative Charter

BHT’s vision is that every person in our region will have access to culturally competent, whole- person care through an integrated community health system. This system will be accountable for improving health outcomes and the experience for care and providers and for lowering costs. Whole-person access to the full spectrum integrated care will address a person’s health needs, including physical and behavioral health, prevention, oral health and vision. Social determinants of health will be recognized and addressed. Every person in our region, regardless of environment, background, or life experiences will have access to:

• Stable, safe housing • Nutritious food • Transportation • Opportunity for education and training that allows for meaningful employment with living wages • Child care • Healthy and supportive social networks

Collaborative Charge The Spokane Collaborative is the formal local convening body for BHT’s Partnering Providers and community partners to support health system transformation and the transition to whole- person, patient-centered care and value-based payment. The Collaborative promotes and supports coordination across providers and community partners and identifies and seeks to achieve shared goals. Collaborative Tasks • Develop a local, sustainable plan that meets both BHT’s objectives and Medicaid Transformation Measures, and guides the Collaborative’s ongoing work. • Ensure the collaboration and commitment of organizational leadership across Partnering Providers and community partners. • Ensure that local projects coordinate with and build on each other. • Leverage and work alongside other community initiatives. • Track and assess Collaborative progress to ensure collaboration and system change and make course corrections when necessary. • Build on successes and identify and recommend solutions to challenges. • Identify, support, and participate in shared learning opportunities across local Partnering Providers and community partners. • Identify and inform policy issues and barriers. • Work alongside other community initiatives. Children’s Behavioral Health Regional Pilot – NEWESD 101

Collaborative Membership The Collaborative will include partners with the expertise and experience required to transform the Medicaid delivery system to an integrated, person-centered system. Members should include all of the major Medicaid providers, including clinics, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHCs), hospitals, and mental health and substance use providers, as well as other critical partners, including payers, public health, housing and other social service providers, relevant community-based organizations, EMS, public safety, educational partners, elected officials, county commissioners, and city officials.

The Collaborative will work closely with the BHT Community Voices Council to ensure Medicaid individuals and/or consumer advocates participate in the work of the Collaborative and have opportunities for meaningful input.

Collaborative Decision-making Process The Collaborative, the Collaborative Connection Team (CCT), and the Workgroups will seek general consensus on all decisions. They will use a general quorum vote from all in attendance in person and on the phone. Each organization gets one vote. If in deadlock, the issue will be referred to the technical council best suited to give input and/or the BHT Board.

Collaborative Rules of Engagement • Collaborative members will keep individuals and the community at the center of the work. • While members represent specific settings and sectors, they will make decisions based on the needs of the Medicaid population. • Collaborative members are accountable to fulfilling their MOUs. • Collaborative members are accountable for full participation in the Collaborative. This includes attending two-thirds of all meetings or sending a delegate, either in person or over the phone. BHT staff will track meeting attendance and report back to the Collaborative Connection Team and the BHT Board. • The Collaborative and the Workgroups will develop workplans and timelines for deliverables and will be responsible for meeting them. • Collaborative members will communicate clearly and consistently. • Collaborative members will honor ideas and perspectives different than their own, and will communicate and conduct meetings with respect and inclusivity. • Collaborative members will solicit feedback from and promote Transformation work to others from their sectors/settings. • Collaborative members will be solution-focused. • Collaborative members will communicate with the Collaborative membership and the Collaborative Connection Team when competition amongst members is a dynamic. • Collaborative members will disclose conflicts of interest. • Collaborative members will follow and uphold the rules of engagement.

Youth Mental Health First Aid Youth Mental Health First Aid USA is an 8 hour public education program which introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, builds understanding of the importance of early intervention, and teaches individuals how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Mental Health First Aid uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to assess a mental health crisis; select interventions and provide initial help; and connect young people to professional, peer, social, and self- help care.

WHAT WILL PARTICIPANTS LEARN? The course teaches participants the risk factors and warning signs of a variety of mental health challenges common among adolescents, including anxiety, depression, psychosis, eating disorders, AD/HD, disruptive behavior disorders, and substance use disorder. Participants do not learn to diagnose, nor how to provide any therapy or counseling – rather, participants learn to support a youth developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis by applying a core five-step action plan:

 Assess for risk of suicide or harm  Listen nonjudgmentally  Give reassurance and information  Encourage appropriate professional help  Encourage self-help and other support strategies

The Youth Mental Health First Aid USA curriculum is primarily focused on information participants can use to help adolescents and transition-age youth

WHO SHOULD TAKE THE COURSE? The course is designed for adults who regularly interact with adolescents (teachers, school staff, coaches, youth group leaders, parents, etc.), but is being tested for appropriateness within older adolescent groups (16 and older) so as to encourage youth peer to peer interaction. In January 2013, President Obama recommended training for teachers in Mental Health First Aid. Since 2008, the core Mental Health First Aid course has been successfully offered to more than 175,000 people across the USA, including hospital staff, employers and business leaders, faith communities, law enforcement, and the general public.

WHO CREATED THE COURSE? Mental Health First Aid USA is coordinated by the National Council for Behavioral Health, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and the Missouri Department of Mental Health. Mental Health First Aid USA worked with experts at the National Technical Assistance Center for Children’s Mental Health at the Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development to develop the youth program.

Mental Health & High School Curriculum

The Mental Health and High School Curriculum Guide (the Guide) is the only evidence-based mental health curriculum resource that has been demonstrated to improve both teachers’ and students’ mental health literacy through usual teacher education and application in the classroom in a variety of program evaluations and research studies in Canada and elsewhere.*

This edition of the Guide replaces previous versions and has been rewritten with new materials added and reflects Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V (DSM-5) nomenclature.

The online version of the Guide can be obtained: http://teenmentalhealth.org/curriculum/ Information about how to access training programs related to the use of the Guide can be found at http://teenmentalhealth.org/care/educators/school-mental-health-training-programs/. In addition to the online version and supporting materials for the Guide, the website http://teenmentalhealth.org/ provides a rich repository of materials that can be used by educators and students alike in improving their understanding of mental health and mental disorders.

The Guide has been developed to help enhance the mental health literacy of students and targeted to be used in grades nine and ten (ages 13 to 15 years). This is the time of the lifespan in which the diagnoses of mental disorders begins to increase dramatically; it is thus essential that young people be able to have the knowledge, attitudes and competencies to help themselves and others if necessary.

Mental health literacy has four components: 1) Understanding how to optimize and maintain good mental health 2) Understanding mental disorders and their treatments 3) Decreasing Stigma 4) Enhancing help-seeking efficacy (knowing when and where to get help and having the skills necessary to promote self-care and how to obtain good care)

The Guide helps prepare students for success in each of these domains. Educators using the Guide may wish to use additional information to supplement the resources described in the Guide or to increase their knowledge in youth mental health. While there are many mental health resources available, we recommend two that meet our standards of quality.

NorthEast Washington Educational Service District 101

August 21, 2018

TO: NEWESD Board of Directors

FROM: Michael Dunn, Superintendent

SUBJECT: Updated AESD Interlocal Agreement

Background: As shared at the June board meeting, ESD boards of directors are requested to approve the attached Updated, June 2018 AESD Interlocal Agreement prior to the start of the 2018-19 fiscal year (September 1, 2018). The change to the Agreement is in section C-iv., which designates one ESD (NEWESD 101, Spokane) to serve as the AESD fiscal agent.

Currently, AESD funds are held in two locations – NEWESD 101 and WSSDA. For the past two years, NEWESD 101 has served as the single AESD fiscal agent for AESD network operations, primarily annual ESD assessments to fund the AESD Executive Director of Statewide Initiatives position and program evaluation. Prior to 2016-17, at least two ESDs held various portions of AESD funds. Historically, WSSDA has also held AESD funds including the annual $100 per ESD board member annual assessment (for which the AESD receives WSSDA clerical support at AESD Executive Board meetings) and, until last year, proceeds associated with the annual AESD Conference.

Over the past year, AESD leadership has worked with the new WSSDA leadership to amicably discontinue WSSDA’s fiscal agent role for the AESD and transfer the AESD fund balance held by WSSDA at the close of the 2017-18 fiscal year to the AESD account at NEWESD 101 (estimated at $75- 100K).

The practical impacts of this update are: • Consolidation of all AESD funds with a single fiscal agent. • Discontinuation of the annual $100 per ESD board member assessment to WSSDA. • AESD assumption of responsibility for clerical support at AESD Executive Board meetings.

Recommendation: Recommend NEWESD Board of Directors approve the Updated, June 2018 AESD Interlocal Agreement as presented.

in order to obtain the maximum benefit from attendance, the employee is authorized to stay at the commercial lodging facility or in the near vicinity where the meeting, convention, conference, or training session is occurring; or affordable lodging accommodations are not available or cannot be obtained within a reasonable commuting distance of the employeeʹs temporary duty point, and transportation costs to commute to and from a less expensive lodging facility consume most or all of the savings achieved from occupying less expensive lodging.

B. When lodging expenses are not incurred, per diem that reflects reimbursement for subsistence costs only will be paid, as provided for in this policy. The per diem will be based on state regulations and schedules and this policy. If an overnight stay is not incurred, the subsistence (meals) reimbursement will be taxable to the employee.

When an employee uses a travel trailer or camper in lieu of commercial lodging facilities for his/her own convenience, he/she shall be reimbursed for the actual space rental cost as evidenced by a receipt. Reimbursement for subsistence costs will be at the rate established by state regulations. Under no circumstances will reimbursement exceed state regulations and schedules.

D. Reimbursement of subsistence or lodging expenses shall not be authorized under any of the following conditions:

• When the employee will not incur expenses for lodging because it is furnished. • When an employee will not incur expenses for meals because they will be furnished.

F. The Superintendent may authorize the direct payment to providers of subsistence or lodging through vendor payment procedures of the ESD. Such payments will be deducted from subsistence and lodging expense claims of the affected employee(s).
