By agreement with the State Federated Council of the CIF and the Board of Managers of the Northern Section, the Section was organized in March 1942 and started to function in September 1942. The Sac-Joaquin Section is a NON-PROFIT California corporation owned and operated by its member schools. The Sac-Joaquin Section does not receive any direct financial support from the State or Federal Government (taxes, lottery, etc.). Dues paid by the Sac-Joaquin Section member schools account for the Sac-Joaquin Section’s annual budget. Marketing sponsorships, merchandise sales, and investments help offset general operating costs. All net proceeds from the Championship events go back to the school sites at the end of each fiscal year. The amount received by the school sites varies according to the number of sports offered by the specific athletic program; program success is not a variable.
