SECTION 530-531

530. In any military academy, having not less than 80 male
students, uniformed, drilled, and instructed in strict accordance
with the tactics of the regular United States Army, and in which the
instruction is conducted in accordance with military principles, the
military instructor or instructors or professors of military science
and tactics of such academy regularly elected or appointed by the
board of trustees or other lawful authority of the academy, may be
commissioned in the California Cadet Corps with the rank of major or
lower rank. Such officers shall exercise no authority or command
except as military instructor or instructors or professors of
military science and tactics of such academy. Such commissions shall
be granted and may be revoked by the Adjutant General, under such
rules and regulations as he may prescribe.

531. The Adjutant General may enter into a cooperative agreement
with the City of Oakland and a school district for the purposes of
establishing an Oakland Military Institute. The program will be a
nonresidential military institute that would provide a structured,
disciplined environment that would be conducive to learning in a
college preparatory environment. In addition to academic skills,
students would develop leadership, self-esteem, and a strong sense of
community.
