Lower Merion School District ordered to pay plaintiff’s lawyer $260,000

“A federal judge Monday ordered the Lower Merion School District
to pay about $260,000 now – and potentially much more later – to
the lawyer who brought the lawsuit over the district’s webcam
monitoring.

“In a 14-page opinion, Senior U.S. District Judge Jan E. DuBois
said Mark S. Haltzman deserved to be paid for work that led to a
preliminary injunction against the district in May. And he said
Haltzman could submit the rest of his bills when the case
ended.

“The injunction banned Lower Merion school employees from
activating webcams on students’ district-issued laptops without
their consent and required new policies governing the use of
technology.”
