The Oakland Section (OS) is the governing body of high school sports for school for the Oakland Unified School District. It is one of ten sections that comprise the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). The OS has further divided the Bay Area Charter School Athletic Conference (BACSAC) and Oakland Athletic League (OAL).

History

The California Interscholastic League has suggested that OS merged with the CIF North Coast Section, as the OS is one of the smallest sections in the CIF.^[1]

In 2010–11 school year, charter schools in Oakland formed the Bay Area Charter School Athletic Conference and joined the Oakland Section.
