June 26, 2008: Susan Romanyszyn was convicted by a jury of her peers today on 11 counts of making terroristic threats at the elementary school where she taught. The charges against her included one count of possessing or manufacturing a fake bomb and a total of 17 counts of making terroristic threats.
Background
Susan Romanyszyn was an elementary school teacher at Longstreth Elementary School in Warminster Township, Pennsylvania. Prosecutors indicated that she was upset when she was not allowed to teach fifth grade. Over an eight-day period, 15 notes were found around the school with terroristic messages. A fake bomb was also found in a student's desk during the same time period. The defense was quick to point out that the threats continued even after Romanyszyn was suspended from the district.
