A Gilbert woman faces charges after police said she threatened to kill two Pleasant Valley employees last week.

Melissa Lee Swed, 33, was arraigned Aug. 24 in connection with a number of threats that she made at both Pleasant Valley Intermediate School during parent/teacher introductions and Pleasant Valley Elementary School that day.In the affidavit of probable cause, Pennsylvania state trooper Daniel Coates said that Swed had threatened to kill two employees at Pleasant Valley Elementary School because she was upset that her child would not be admitted to full-time kindergarten.The affidavit states that Swed said, "It's a good thing I left my gun at home because if it was in my car I would kill her."According to court records, Swed said she would kill an elementary teacher because "he does not know how to teach students with IUP learning disabilities."Court records also say Swed said that if she did not receive a phone call by the following day, "someone will end up dead or in jail."According to Pleasant Valley Superintendent David Piperato, the administration and building security accessed the situation and contacted the state police at Lehighton. After speaking with witnesses at the scene, trooper Coates arrested Swed.The affidavit states that Swed admitted to having access to firearms and a concealed carry permit, but that she was not in possession of any weapons at the time of the incident.Swed was charged with making terroristic threats and harassment. Both are listed in the affidavit at misdemeanor of summary offenses.School administration reported to state police that this was not the first time Swed had made threats to school employees."We have security at every building," Piperato said. "We will not make any changes as a result of this incident. Our building was secured and we contacted the state police.""When a member of the public makes a threat to a student or staff member, we will press charges and hold the individual accountable to the greatest extent of the law," Piperato said. "In addition, the individual will be prohibited from being on any school district property without the express written permission of the superintendent.""We have contacted the individual involved and have made her aware of our concerns going forward," Piperato said. "We have no further comments at this time."Swed had a preliminary hearing before Judge Jolana Krawitz on Aug. 29. No plea was entered and the matter was continued until 9:15 a.m. Sept. 11. Swed was released on a $5,000 bond.
