I remember that a couple of years ago a school did that the "if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide" a little further, and spyde on kids at their homes via their webcams. I find it almost unbelievable that public official can sink so low, but apparently it did happen:
The "laptops issued to high-school students in the well-heeled Philly suburb have webcams that can be covertly activated by the schools' administrators, who have used this facility to spy on students and even their families. The issue came to light when the Robbins's child was disciplined for "improper behavior in his home" and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence. "

Edit: The case was apparently settled for $610,000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbins_v._Lower_Merion_School_District https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbins_v._Lower_Merion_School...
