YORK, Maine A woman who was reported missing Tuesday evening after she went for a walk with a dog, was later found dead along a wooded walking trail, according to the York Police Department.
York police Detective Sgt. Thomas Cryan said police have no reason to suspect foul play, nor is there any reason for safety concerns in the community.
Police had asked the public for help to locate 66-year-old Deborah Kolbjornsen, after she did not return from her walk when expected, prompting a missing person report about 6:15 p.m. She was a retired teacher from the Oyster River Cooperative School District in New Hampshire.
Lafond said they have met with Nadeau and a contract is just awaiting signatures.
Winnacunnet School Board Chairman Henry Marsh said Nadeau is “enthusiastic” about returning to the Seacoast.
“She’s an excellent candidate,” Marsh said. “She s experienced and we are enthusiastic about having her on board.”
Nadeau replaces Bill Lupini, who resigned from the position in December after serving in the role since 2017. Dr. Caroline Arakelian, who has served as interim superintendent since Lupini’s departure, will return to her position as SAU 21’s executive director of student services, according to Lafond.
“We can’t thank her enough for her guidance and knowledge and support through this whole process,” Lafond said. “She has been amazing, and she helped lead us out of the pandemic.”

The Grantham School District and the Oyster River Cooperative School District will join the ConVal School District’s lawsuit filed against the State of New Hampshire over equitable education funding, ConVal announced in a press release Thursday.
The Grantham and Oyster River Districts join seven other co-plaintiff districts: Claremont, Fall Mountain, Hillsboro-Deering, Mascenic, Monadnock, Newport and Winchester.
The plaintiffs maintain that New Hampshire does not meet its constitutional obligation to provide adequate funding for all students. Plaintiffs argue that base adequacy is not sufficient to fund an adequate education and falls far short of funding services, positions, and items that the State requires school districts to provide. In 2019 districts received $3,636 per student in base adequacy.
Here s a closer look at plans and reaction from school districts across the greater Seacoast:
Dover Schools return plan
The Dover School District had been in a hybrid-model so far, with the number of in-person days varying by grade level and school, and a set target date to return to five-day learning May 3.
Planning has been ongoing to transition the Dover Middle School and Dover High School from the hybrid model to five days per week. Dover elementary schools have been planning for the scheduled return of virtual students electing to return for in-person learning May 3. Now the district has to move up these plans.
