Accused of AI Cheating? Start Here

If your student has been accused of using AI on an assignment, take a breath. AI detectors make mistakes, including well-documented false positives, and an accusation is not the end of the story. You have options, and what you do in the first 72 hours matters. This free kit was built to help your family respond calmly, with evidence, in writing.

What is in the free kit

• First Steps, the First 72 Hours: what to do, and what not to sign, right away
• An evidence checklist: the drafts, files, and records to gather before the meeting
• A response letter template you can copy, fill in, and send
• Detector facts: what the research and federal guidance actually say about AI detector accuracy
• The bridge: sample language for asking that AI be written into an IEP, a 504 plan, or a college accommodation plan as a real accommodation

The first three steps

1. Do not sign anything at the first meeting. You can listen, take notes, and ask for everything in writing.
2. Ask for the specifics: which tool flagged the work, the score, the full report, and the written AI policy your student received.
3. Save everything: drafts, version history, notes, and the assignment itself, before anything is overwritten.

Transcenders Inc is led by parents and educators, not lawyers, who advocate alongside families. This kit is general information, not legal advice. If your student faces formal discipline, contact an education attorney or your state Parent Training and Information Center, which helps families for free.
