Art I agree with you, but it does raise some pretty significant legal issues.
Was the school within it's rights to have this type of tracking
system? (Apparently not according to PA law.)
Did the school inform the parents/students about this type of tracking ability?
I hope this does get settled, and I hope the school system gets a
better tracking capabilty than it has.

I hate it when legal analysis gets into issues like this. For example,
did the parents and students agree to cooperate in efforts to recover a
missing or stolen laptop assigned to the student? If they did, then
they may well have agreed to such a recovery tactic even if said tactic
wasn't explicitly agreed to. People can give up an awful lot of what
appears to be a right in order to work, or even get usage of a computer.
Incidentally, it should be noted that the fact negotiations are now
apparently occurring means that at least one side doesn't want this to
go to trial and possibly both.
