School Board Member Resigns After
Being Accused of Stealing from Employer

A member of the Jamestown School Board resigned Friday after being charged with stealing thousands of dollars from Jamestown Area Medical Associates while she worked there.

42-year-old Barbara Piazza of Jamestown allegedly took more than $19,000 in cash between 2007 and earlier this year when she pocketed the money she received as payments to JAMA.

The investigation began when JAMA officials contacted police November 8 after discovering a discrepancy in their books.

Piazza turned herself into police Friday after a warrant had been issued for her arrest. She was arraigned in Jamestown City Court and was released on $5,000 bail. She could face up to seven years in jail.

Piazza began serving on the school board in July 2010.
