A former Cobb County School District teacher has been indicted on a charge of making terroristic threats in a comment she made to another educator.
A Cobb grand jury on Thursday indicted Toshuaa Tymille Baker on one count of terroristic threats and acts, Superior Court records show.
Baker, a former Campbell High School math teacher, allegedly made the comment during a meeting she had in March with her son’s teacher at King Springs Elementary School.
In a meeting about her son’s school performance, Baker told the teacher that if her son wasn’t allowed to skip the fourth grade, “I’m going to blow up the school.”
She was later charged with one count of felony terroristic threats for the comment. The Cobb County School Board in July voted unanimously to terminate Baker's teaching contract. Board members Brad Wheeler and David Morgan abstained from the vote.

Wheeler told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Baker was a student while he taught at Pebblebrook High School. Morgan told the AJC he attends the same church as Baker and has worked on volunteer projects with her.
The Cobb County School District in May opted not to renew Baker’s contract, and she appealed the decision to a three-person tribunal panel. The panel recommended Baker be fired.
Jail records show Baker, a Smyrna resident, was booked into the Cobb County jail March 25 and released the same day on a $5,000 bond. A search of court records show no arraignment date has been scheduled for Baker. The case has been assigned to Superior Court Judge Kimberly Childs.
A Cobb school district spokeswoman previously told the AJC that state law allows Baker to appeal her firing to the state Board of Education. Meghan Frick, spokeswoman with the Georgia Department of Education, said as of Friday, no appeal has been submitted by Baker to the state board.
