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
