It is the recommendation of the Oakland Athletic Leauge Commissioner that the Oakland Athletic League shall remain a CIF section.  On April 20, 1999, the Governing Body of Oakland Section the OAL Policy Committee composed of the high school principals approved a motion to continue the Oakland Athletic League as a league and section in the California Interscholastic Federtation.  Oakland has been a California Interscholastic Federation section since 1940 and a league since 1919.  After examination and investigation by the current Commissioner, the proposal of the North Coast Section membership has been waived with the interest of all students and all high schools in Oakland now and in the future. While there may be advantages for individual schools and singular athletic teams to participate in the North Coast Section, there is no need to alter the section status or the OAL.  The overwhelming and compelling benefit of all stakeholders in Oakland must be considered and not for singular advantage for one school's mens or women's athletic program or for an individual team in the OAL.  As a result of discussions conducted with OAL principals, athletic directors, parents, alumni, current and former coaches, and community stakeholders regarding the status of Oakland as a CIF, it is the recommendation of the OAL Commissioner that the Oakland Athletic League should remain a CIF Section.
