I dunno about you, but I just find this whole thing way to bizarre. How it was found out, the magnitude, the fact that it seems one person has done all of this.

The spying software was installed as a matter of school policy; it wasn't the act of a rogue admin deciding to wire up the school laptops to feed their appetites. They had budget meetings where they took notes about how much it would cost to purchase a site license that would cover the installation of this software on all of the school computers; everyone up to the school board participated in and signed off on this. It was not a secret.
