82. FINANCIAL POLICIES

All funds handled by the CIF or any of the CIF entities, whether those funds be donations, corporate-sponsored donations, fees or dues, are monies designed for the furtherance and administration of athletics for the students of the schools in California. Adopted principles and policies are generally designed to be consistent with the state law governing schools. The adopted financial policies and regulations apply to all CIF entities (state, sections, and leagues) and to all CIF personnel (staff and elected representatives) unless a specific distinction has been recognized and authorized in writing. An adequately financed program of competitive athletics is essential for California's youth to receive a well-rounded education. Specific financial policies may be found in the State CIF Policy Book included within this volume as an appendix.
