A school staff member said Desert Oasis Continuation High School serves students who are behind in credits and offers individualized plans and career-technical courses to help them graduate.

School staff described the program as an option for students who become credit‑deficient by the end of 10th grade and said counselors meet each student to map the classes needed to continue 11th and 12th grade work and to recover missing credits. "It's not a punishment," a staff member said, describing the transfer to the continuation school as a way for students to get back on track.

The staff said the school typically receives students who by about age 16 are entering 11th grade and have fallen behind in credits. Counselors meet individually with students to "identify their plan for success, find out which classes they need to take," and to offer career‑technical (CT) courses intended to provide career awareness and readiness.

Staff named barber and beauty and cybersecurity as CT courses offered at Desert Oasis and said those classes are popular with students. They also said the school aims to help students raise their grade‑point average so they can return to their home campuses — identified in the meeting as Central or Southwest — if that is their plan.

Speakers emphasized school culture, saying teachers, maintenance and the community liaison work to make students feel comfortable. "We wanna make sure that the students feel comfortable first," a staff member said, adding that the school’s main purposes are graduation and preparing students for future careers.

Discussion in the meeting consisted of descriptions and explanation; no formal actions or votes were recorded on this topic.
