BANGOR – The school committee hired a new assistant superintendent Tuesday night during a meeting at City Hall.

Donna H. Wolfrom of West Baldwin was tapped to replace Betsy Webb, who was recently promoted to the superintendent post that will be vacated at the end of the month when Robert “Sandy” Ervin, retires.

Wolfrom, whose beginning base pay was set at $90,000, currently serves as assistant superintendent for SAD 55, which serves 1,300 students from the southern Maine communities of Baldwin, Cornish, Hiram, Parsonsfield and Porter.

Previously, she was that district’s curriculum coordinator and served as an elementary school principal, a district literacy specialist and a classroom teacher.

According to information provided by Ervin, Wolfrom is enrolled in a doctoral program in education leadership at the University of Maine. She earned a certificate of advanced study in educational leadership at the University of Southern Maine, a master’s in literacy at USM, and a bachelor of arts degree at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Va.

Also Tuesday, the committee hired a new principal for Fairmount School, which houses one of Bangor’s two fourth- and fifth-grade programs.

Ryan Enman will succeed former Fairmount Principal Paul Butler, who was promoted to the position of director of gifted and talented and Title I programs upon the retirement of Lee Worcester.

Enman, whose base pay will start at $80,836, comes from Limestone Community School, where he has served as principal, curriculum coordinator and special education teacher.

Enman holds a master’s in educational leadership from USM, where he also earned a bachelor’s in communications.

In other business, the committee:

. Set the following student meal prices for next school year:

Breakfast – full price, 75 cents; reduced price, 30 cents.

Lunch – full price, elementary, $1.85, middle school, $2.10, high school, $2.25; reduced price, 40 cents.

The cost for adult breakfasts will increase to $1.50, and adult lunches will increase to $3.75.

A la carte prices will be set by the food services supervisor, subject to approval by the superintendent, after considering the cost of each food item and the total costs for the a la carte program.

According to the school department’s policy on meal prices, the cost for each item will be “set at a rate the students could reasonably afford but will allow the profit necessary to balance the overall food services budget so that local appropriations are not necessary to meet total food service cost.”

. Set compensation rates for substitute teachers, lunch aides, executive office staff, support staff, adult and community education staff and for the substitute caller, accompanists, summer painters and custodians, high school sports officials, part-time student workers and summer cafeteria workers.
