And the FBI is getting involved
--- Quote ---The FBI will explore whether Lower Merion School District officials broke any federal wiretap or computer-intrusion laws, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the investigation.

Apparently, it was for helping retrieval if a laptop was lost or stolen. Though the district decided not to tell anyone about this and the webcam was activated on a laptop that wasn't reported missing.

I CAN SEE THE KEYBOARD! THE LAPTOP MUST BE CLOSED AT THE MOMENT!
It's called a GPS tracker... This is BS.

Lol damn, didn't take that into account. Laptops are usually closed and even if. It's pretty unlikely to spot the laptop just with the webcam, if you see a random landscape around. xd
