It's my understanding that the district says this laptop was reported missing.

I expected that they'd eventually claim that. It's the only thing they can do to cover their butts.

I’m just explaining the software’s capabilities. It doesn’t turn itself on - somebody has to do it. I’ve seen some of the articles describing it as if it’s malware. All client management software has extensive capabilities to over-ride local admin rights. There is nothing nefarious about that. The primary issue in this case is whether there was a report of a stolen or missing laptop. The software didn’t commit any offenses. (Full disclosure: I’ve done some consulting work in the past with the software’s developers.)
