By agreeing to plead guilty to a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide, the 35-year-old Rosenbrock avoids the risk of a prison sentence and can continue to care for the couple's three young children.

Rosenbrock is on paid leave from his teaching job at Lake George High School. It will be up to the New York State Education Department to decide if he can keep his job.

Lake George School Superintendent Lynne Rutnik released the following statement:

"I cannot comment on legal or personnel matters concerning members of the faculty/staff at Lake George Central School District. However, our hearts and prayers continue to go out to Eric and the entire Rosenbrock family during this time. Both personally and professionally, I am relieved to see this legal matter head toward resolution to allow the grieving process to take place for the wife mother, daughter, sister and friend they have lost."
