AG gets $240K settlement from school director who abused funds
New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman on Thursday announced that his office has obtained a $240,000 agreement to resolve its investigation into self-dealing by Silvia Kuper, executive director of Therapy and Learning Center Inc. in Windsor Terrace.
The Attorney General’s investigation into the Brooklyn not-for-profit corporation, which provides pre-school and early intervention services for special needs and non-special needs children, found that Kuper used $220,000 in school funds to pay for online personal counseling services and exorbitant leases on a series of luxury Audi A-8 sedans registered in her name.
The total amount to be paid by Kuper includes full restitution of the $220,000 in improper charges and $20,000 to defray the costs of the Attorney General’s investigation.
