The proposed bill seeks to approve Modification No. M0010 to Contract No. DCRL-2022-C-0105 with Community Services for Autistic Adults and Children, Inc. (CSAAC) to exercise the third option year of the contract, which will run from July 6, 2025, to July 5, 2026. The modification allows CSAAC to continue providing Residential Treatment and Education Services for Autistic Youth on a 24/7 basis, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,038,305.05. This amount reflects an increase in service rates and contract capacity compared to previous option years.

The contract's financial implications have been certified, indicating that the necessary funds are available within the District's Local Budget and Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2025. The funding for the subsequent period from October 1, 2025, through July 5, 2026, will depend on the approval of the District's FY-2026 budget. The bill emphasizes the importance of these services for the community and the need for continued support for autistic youth and their families.
