Two former officials at a Westchester school for at-risk students admit they stole school district money for personal luxury items.

The Westchester D.A. says 56-year-old Oliver Levy and 49-year-old Surandra Kumar pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny.

Levy was the superintendent at the Greenburgh-Graham Union Free School District.

Kurman was the district’s security system specialist

Prosecutors say the pair spent over $50,000 on jewelry and designer handbags.

Both are expected to receive probation and must pay full restitution when they’re sentenced in September.
