HYDE PARK – The athletic director at the Hyde Park Central School
District and her husband have been arrested and charged with stealing
a large amount of property from the school district. Town Police Chief
Eric Paolilli said the property, including some expensive exercise equipment,
was worth in excess of $50,000.
Hyde Park Town Police arrested Amy McArdle-Rausenberger, 41, and Scott
Rausenberger, 36, both living at 567 Grand Avenue in the Town of Newburgh.
Both were charged with felony grand larceny, arraigned and remanded to
the Dutchess County Jail.
Hyde Park and State Police executed a search warrant at their residence
and recovered the stolen property in both the home and a detached garage
where Scott Rausenberger operated a triathlon and fitness training company
called “Go Fast Get Fit.”
The investigation is continuing.
Hyde Park Superintendent of Schools Dr. Greer Rychcik said Amy McArdle-Rausenberger
has been on family leave since August 2 and an interim athletic director
has been in that post since then.
To Rychcik’s knowledge, this is the first time that large amounts
of property have been stolen from the school district.
