1976 school exchange

In 1976, not only was FCHS moved from the town of Falls Church, at Cherry & Hillwood, it was exchanged with J.G.Whittier Intermediate, which already existed on this site. That is, the JGWIS was moved from here to the old FCHS building in town.
Within a few years, the JGWIS was then closed, and the building used as a community center for a few years, until it was sold to an aggressive developer, razed and a massive condo project built in its place.

Principle date?

"Mike Litoris (0069 - present)" Does '0069' indicate a date? Perhaps 2000 June 9?
This also seems to contradict the main statistics banner info: "Principal Cathy Benner"

Is there an maintained & authoritative reference site that should be used, like http://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:50:::::P0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:090,0

as of Updated: 2016-04-20: Principal Ben Nowak BANowak@fcps.edu and 'Enrollment Enrollment as of June 201617: 1960' (?!?)
BTW, What is, "Principle date?"?
Is Wikimapia an appropriate alternative for school description information?

The FCHS2009FRONT.jpg photo indicated below (by a broken link), appears to have been submitted under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 images | Self-published work, so the claim of 'non-free/fair use' (which presumes personal copyrights were retained) appears to be unnecessary. Ref. CC-BY-SA

Fair use rationale for Image:FallsChurchHS.jpg

Image:FallsChurchHS.jpg is being used in this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair (non-free) use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
