Former Treasurer Of Woodridge School PTO Accused Of Stealing $13K

DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin and Woodridge Chief of Police Tom Stefanson say that the former Treasurer of the Goodrich Elementary School PTO is facing charges that she allegedly stole approximately $13,000 from the organization. On March 31, 2026, a DuPage County Grand Jury returned a two-count indictment against Amanda Piasecki, 39 (8/12/1986) of the 6500 block of Winston Drive, Woodridge, alleging one count of Theft – $10,000-$100,000 (Class 2 Felony) and one count of Theft – $500-$10,000 (Class 3 Felony). On April 1, 2026, Judge Jill Otte issued an arrest warrant for Piasecki. Piasecki turned herself in to authorities at the DuPage County Jail. As the charges against Piasecki are non-detainable, she was released from custody following her appearance in First Appearance Court.

Piasecki served as the Treasurer of the Goodrich Elementary School PTO. As Treasurer, Piasecki had access to the organization’s funds. According to the indictment, it is alleged that between May 1, 2024, and September 4, 2025, Piasecki “exerted unauthorized control over property of the Goodrich Parent Teacher Organization…being United States currency having a total value exceeding ten thousand dollars…” It is alleged that the amount of money stolen by Piasecki totaled approximately $13,062.97.

“Through her alleged actions, Ms. Piasecki abused the trust placed in her by the Goodrich Elementary School PTO for her own personal gain,” Berlin said. “This money, approximately $13,000, was intended to be used for the benefit of the children of the school, not for Ms. Piasecki’s personal use, as is alleged in this case. If the allegations in this case are proven true, Ms. Piasecki treated the PTO as her own personal fundraiser and in doing so, lined her own pockets while depriving the Goodrich Elementary School PTO of much-needed funding. I would like to thank authorities at the organization for bringing this matter to the attention of law enforcement and for their complete cooperation throughout the investigation. I also thank the Woodridge Police Department for their work in unraveling Ms. Piasecki’s alleged scheme as well as Assistant State’s Attorneys Anthony Raimondi and Alysa Feld of my office’s Public Integrity/Financial Crimes Division for their efforts in securing charges against Ms. Piasecki.”…
