ROGERSVILLE - A Hawkins County teacher who was reportedly recorded on a 911 tape stating she would kill her 18-year-old daughter was charged with aggravated assault last week and will remain on the job while the incident is under investigation.
    According to a Hawkins County Sheriff's Office report, Veleka Sharon Setsor, 39, 102 Gordon Road, Rogersville, was charged February 3 after Deputy Ethan Calhoun responded to domestic dispute call at the address involving the mother and daughter.
    Setsor is a teacher at Hawkins Elementary School.
    "The matter is currently under review by our office and local authorities.  Due to the sensitive nature of this matter we can't comment on specifics," Hawkins County Director of Schools Charlotte Britton said Tuesday.
    Britton said she and other central office personnel were at the school Monday, the first day of classes since the incident.  The director added a representative was at the school Tuesday morning and "will be as long as it is necessary."
    The director also said it is important for parents to realize the safety of students is always the primary concern of school officials and that "a plan is in place" to make certain all children are attending classes in a safe environment.    
    Calhoun's report of the incident states he talked with Eden Cheyenne Setsor, 18, who told the deputy that during an argument her mother told her to "pack all of her belongings and leave home."
    "According to the daughter, her mother then left her bedroom and retrieved what appeared to be a rifle and threatened to kill her with it," the deputy's report states.
    Veleka Setsor confirmed that she "did get what she thought was a pellet rifle" and returned to the room, the deputy wrote.
    "The mother denied making the threat, however Central Dispatch confirmed, on (a) recorded line, the mother stating 'I will kill you,'" the report states.
    Setsor is scheduled to be arraigned in Hawkins County General Sessions Court on February 25.
