But Ebby conceded that the school-issued laptops had taken a "substantial number of webcam photos," and said it had proposed to Judge DuBois that families of students who appear in those photographs be notified and given the chance to view the images.

Ebby also obliquely addressed the motion's charge that Cafiero or others used the district's technology to spy on students. "While we deeply regret the mistakes and misguided actions that have led us to this situation, at this late stage of the investigation we are not aware of any evidence that District employees used any LANRev webcam photographs or screenshots for such inappropriate purposes," said Ebby.

Earlier last week, DuBois ordered that only lawyers for the school district would have access to camera images and screenshots of students besides those taken of Blake Robbins and his sister Paige, who also attends Harriton High School. DuBois' order also said that the district would wrap up its investigation by May 4.

"We are committed to disclosing fully what happened, correcting our mistakes, and making sure that they do not happen again," said Ebby in the April 16 statement.

Neither the school district or Cafiero's attorney immediately replied to requests made Saturday seeking comment.
