DIXFIELD — The RSU 10 board Monday night readmitted a former Dirigo High School boy.

The boy had been expelled in February for being involved in an assault.

Superintendent Tom Ward said the boy kept up with his studies through a tutor during the months he was out of school. He also completed community service, underwent a risk assessment and attended counseling.

In other matters Monday, the board agreed to start charging the same admittance fee for adults and students who attend any night high school game as is charged for night football games. Those gate fees are $4 for adults and $2 for students.

A $2 admission fee will be charged for adults and students who attend middle school night games.

The fees are to cover the higher costs of electricity and security.

Several last-minute resignations were received due to late retirements or employees finding other positions closer to their homes. These include Dirigo High School special education educational technician Judy Gammon, Buckfield Junior-Senior High School business/technology teacher Christopher Aube, Mountain Valley Region speech and language pathologist Debra Borchardt, Mountain Valley Middle School music teacher Dan Labonte, Dirigo High School special education educational technician Betty Simanek, and Dirigo Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Karen Thurston.

Ward said some of these positions will likely be filled by long-term substitutes.

Several new teachers were also hired, including Charlie Nielsen as a half-time English teacher at Dirigo High School, Deb Berman as a three-fifths time speech and language therapist for the Buckfield and Sumner schools, Laura Columbia as a Mountain Valley High School math and science teacher, Tanya McPherson as a special education middle school teacher for the Pennacook Learning Center, and Scott Dunbar as a Dirigo Elementary School music teacher.
