RSU 56 DIXFIELD — Regional School Unit 56 directors voted Tuesday night to adjust standards for some Dirigo High School seniors at risk of failing to graduate this year. Superintendent and Principal Pam Doyen said the coronavirus pandemic has caused her to rethink the high school graduation standards. “The graduation requirements for Dirigo High School are significantly more than the state minimum and I think they should be,” she said. However, the pandemic has posed many problems for students, warranting consideration of changes. “Some of our students have been struggling to keep up with their classes and school since last March, which puts a number of our potential graduating students at risk for graduating,” she said. Eighteen of the 57 seniors are in jeopardy of not graduating and they would benefit from the district changing the standards to match the state’s, she said.
