Will this do?

4. Network security is designed to allow access to certain areas only by designated users; however, the network administrator may review files and communications to maintain system integrity and ensure that students are using the system responsibly.
5. Users should not expect that files stored on District resources will be private.

Stipulates no expectation of data privacy.

I see absolutely nothing in that document referring to invoking photgrapic capture capability within a student’s place of residence.

Advises that files the student *knowingly* stores on district machines are subject to review.

Did the student *knowingly* capture a photograph of himself eating candy and store it on the laptop? All signs point to NO.

Those statements are useless on the merits of this case. Where is the stipulation that the camera can be activated at any time by school officials, including inside of the student's private residence?

Your arguement is very, very, very thin. And transparent as an educrat who thinks they are above the law.

It only says *access files*.

It does not stipulate activating the webcam to monitor student behavior or activity.
