Recap and Update on AB 3632 Funding
A message from Lorrie Davis, MDUSD CAC Chairperson
In October 2010, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger cut the AB 3632 Mental Health funding which pays for children to receive mental health services from County Mental Health Agencies. This loss of funding means school districts, as the payer of last resort, are responsible for providing and paying for these services without additional revenue to cover the cost. For the Mt. Diablo School District, this is estimated to cost $5.4 million dollars a year and is NOT currently in their budget.
Our new Governor, Jerry Brown, has proposed new funding to begin for next year; however, nothing has been set in stone. Meanwhile, the Mt. Diablo School District is responsible to cover the cost for the remainder of this school year which is estimated at $2.4 million dollars.
We NEED to contact our legislators NOW and ask them to support reinstatement of the AB 3632 Mental Health funding. Below is contact information for the Big Five and Local Legislators. We need to send letters weekly so this funding is restored and not forgotten.

Important Information Regarding AB 3632 Mental Health Funding
A message from Lorrie Davis, CAC chairperson:
In October 2010, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger cut our AB 3632 Mental Health funding which pays for children to receive entitled and necessary mental health services by county mental health agencies. This loss of funding/service means Mt. Diablo School District is now responsible for providing the mental health services without additional revenue to cover the cost. One residential treatment program for a student can cost over $300,000 a year.
Mt. Diablo School District currently has 15 students in residential programs which means an additional cost to our district of $4,856,379. Our district budget cannot handle a hit of almost $5 million dollars. Jerry Brown will be presenting his budget plan on January 10 which is only a week away. Parents NEED to contact their legislators NOW.
Below is a list of The Big Five and links to find your Senators/Assembly Members. PLEASE contact your legislators ASAP and ask that they restore the AB 3632 Mental Health Funding.
