Read Article RSU 10 Board Director Chad Culleton and his wife, Bridget, attend the RSU 10 community forum Tuesday at Buckfield Junior-Senior High School to discuss upcoming changes for the district’s Nezinscot Region schools. Marianne Hutchinson/Rumford Falls Times BUCKFIELD Regional School Unit 10 held a forum Tuesday at Buckfield Junior-Senior High School to discuss changes to the Nezinscot Region schools that would allow all students to return to full-time in-person learning this fall. In order to meet that goal, the district needs a lot more space and staff because the schools will continue to adhere to guidelines from the Maine Department of Education and the Maine Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Those guidelines currently call for wearing face coverings and maintaining 3 to 6 feet of distance between people depending on circumstances.
