I'd like to say I'm surprised by this,

but not really:
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday closed their investigation into Lower Merion School District's secret use of software to track student laptops, saying they found no evidence that anyone intentionally committed a crime.

The decision, announced by U.S. Attorney Zane Memeger, ended a six-month probe by the FBI into allegations that district employees might have spied on students through webcams on their school-issued laptops.
So on criminal matters the school's off the hook; I hope the civil suits ream them a new one. And in the future I hope some of the idiot actions by some federal agencies have this brought up:
"For the government to prosecute a criminal case, it must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person charged acted with criminal intent," his statement said. "We have not found evidence that would establish beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone involved had criminal intent."
I want them to hold that level of concern for EVERYBODY they investigate.
