Summary of Most Recent Site Inspection

The California Charter School Association risk manager inspected Oasis High School in January 2007. .

Repairs Needed

Oasis used to be a financial institution. It has a old walk-in vault that is currently used for storage and for a small music production studio. The lock on the door has been disabled, but the site inspector recommended further modifications to make sure the door can not be closed.
Change signage on an exit that is blocked by a screen, or remove screen if the exit is intended as an emergency exit.
Mark all bottles containing liquids and make sure all cleaning supplies are kept in a custodial closet.

Corrective Actions Taken or Planned

The screen has been removed and cleaning equipment moved. The vault door has not been further secured, but, will be modified by April 2007.
