1979???[edit]

For some odd reason, LACES's own home page states that the school was founded in Sept. 1979. This is false. The school is actually two years older than that, first opening in Sept. 1977 at rented classroom space in the back of the Wilshire Blvd. Temple. It was known simply as the Center for Enriched Studies back then because it was the first. It became LACES (for a time CESLA) after the Sherman Oaks CES opened. When it opened, it ran from 4th - 8th grades and had under 500 students. It added a grade each year until reaching the 12th grade in the 1981-82 school year. How do I know all this? I was there. But I'm wondering if that's good enough to make edits, because I have no source materials to refer to. gar in Oakland 06:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, if no one can prove you wrong, and you were there firsthand then make the necessary edits. If someone has proof that you are mistaken, then they can change it later on. Aznfurball 07:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I did it, my first Wiki major edit. Let the flames begin! gar in Oakland 18:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We need verifiable sources. Gamr, if you feel you are correct, contact CES and tell the staff that it has an error. WhisperToMe 02:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know I am correct because I went to CES from 77-83. I have the year books and school pictures to prove it. However, I can try to contact the school and see what they say. All of my old teachers have retired or moved on, and after 20+ years since going to school there, there is no one there I know. gar in Oakland (talk) 04:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I went to LACES's web page and low and behold, there was a link to a recent article in the LA Times about the school. Not only did it mention that CES was founded in 1977, but the person it was quoting was my old homeroom teacher! I guess they aren't all gone after all. :) I added a footnote to the article. gar in Oakland (talk) 04:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You'd be surprised. Mr Hinson (history teacher) just retired a few years back. so did mr davison. Ms. Uchiyama still teaches there, and mr Loo is still a gym teacher (Ms miller moved to another school recently, and mr turner retired a year ago.Mr nobles retired this year) Not sure if you had any of these teachers or kknew or remember them but all had been there since the early 80's or before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superblueman3 (talk • contribs) 03:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Unihead 1.png[edit]

Image:Unihead 1.png is being used on 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 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.

New Principal[edit]

I currently go to LACES and noticed that this page says that Dr. Margaret Kim is still our principal. While she was our principal for many years, as of this year, Mr. Harold Boger is the new principal. I think someone should change this information.

It says on the LACES website that this is true: "Principal (English Dept. & Social Studies Dept.) Mr. Harold Boger"

Edit request on 30 April 2012[edit]

Please change Principal from Dr. Margaret Kim to Mr. Harold Boger because Dr. Kim got promoted. (see www.lacesmagnetschool.org)

I don't see anything on the front page. Can you link to specific article or staff listing? — Bility (talk) 21:51, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
