Palo Alto High School students walk towards the football field after a fire alarm disrupted class during 5th period on Wednesday afternoon. Palo Alto High School junior Andrew Shih, in addition to many other students, will have his testing schedule impacted by the drill in the upcoming week. "I was upset that the fire alarm went off in class because I'm going to end up having to take it [his AP Biology test] Friday, but I already have an APUSH [AP United States History] test," Shih said.

The Palo Alto High School robotics yard stands empty on Thursday after school. According to build team captain Lawrence Chang, the team’s head coach, Kathleen Krier, has prohibited students from being in a part of the lab without teacher supervision one of several new rules that have caused tensions between herself and the team. “Out of the blue, [she] says that she refuses to supervise the Java shop area,” Chang said. “I ask for clarification … and then she gets really angry at me, saying how I need to stop questioning her authority.” Photo: Benjamin Huang

Palo Alto Unified School District Supt. Max McGee addresses local students and parents during a meeting at the board chambers last night. According to McGee, the board should report both unweighted and University of California-approved weighted GPAs on student transcripts while not weighting freshman grades and not limiting weighted courses. “I'm not recommending that we cap the number of AP courses that students take," McGee said. “We trust people to make the right decision but we want that to be an informed decision.” Photo: William Sallomi
