The Lower Merion School District in Ardmore, PA, and its employees might have just gotten away with murder. The Feds have decided against prosecuting school officials for spying on students and their families by remotely activating Webcams on school-provided notebooks, according to an Associated Press report. School officials have escaped criminal charges as the investigators found no criminal intent on their part.
The district avowedly captured 56,000 images as part of its anti-theft efforts. While it has every reason to heave a sigh of relief, it is still not time for full-scale festivities as a case filed by a student's family in February is still pending before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
