The Cape Elizabeth School Board has narrowed its search for a new superintendent to two finalists, board Chairwoman Elizabeth Scifres announced Monday.

They are Steven Bailey, superintendent of the Central Lincoln County School System, Alternative Organizational Structure 93, which is based in Damariscotta, and Craig King, superintendent of Western Foothills Regional School Unit 10, which is based in Dixfield.

Both candidates will be in Cape Elizabeth the week of April 25 to meet with students, staff, parents and community members.

Meredith Nadeau, who has been superintendent in Cape Elizabeth for five years, will leave June 30 to become superintendent of the elementary and junior-senior high schools in Newmarket, New Hampshire.

Bailey previously served as assistant superintendent and curriculum director in South Portland. His history includes principal positions in Exeter, New Hampshire, South Portland and Veazie, where he began his teaching career. He has a master’s degree in education and a certificate of advanced studies, both from the University of Maine.

King previously served as principal of Mt. Ararat High School and worked as a principal and an assistant principal in Mississippi, where he taught at a high school. He also taught at the elementary level at an international school. He has a master’s degree in education and a doctorate in educational leadership, both from the University of Southern Mississippi.
