District Judge Regina Armitage set bail at $500,000 unsecured. He also banned her from having contact with juveniles other than her 4-year-old son, or from contacting any Central Bucks students or employees.

Her attorney, William Goldman, had sought leniency for his client’s bail conditions and told the judge that Szychulski is in the middle of a complicated pregnancy.
