- The school board upheld the comments in a 4-0 vote.
- A separate AI-flagged essay lawsuit was dropped.

## Summary

Palo Alto Unified School District is facing two legal challenges from parents over how their children were assessed at school. One parent is asking a judge to remove critical comments from her son’s report card, while another parent’s federal lawsuit over an AI-detection flag and a low essay grade was dropped in September.

Weiwei Luo says three comments about her son’s responses to peers, listening and cooperation were inaccurate; the district says they were substantiated, and its school board rejected her appeal in a 4-0 vote. Luo is also challenging her attorney’s exclusion from the virtual hearing and is seeking legal fees. In the separate case, Takashi Kato said Turnitin marked his son’s essay on *The Crucible* as 76% AI-generated; the student was told to rewrite it and received 65 out of 100. Kato filed a 1,162-page evidence packet and alleged discrimination and due-process violations, claims the supplied article does not say were proven.
