Approved Grant Wood budget reduces by 48000 dollars
The Grant Wood area education agency board adopted an 8.3 million dollar budget for 1977-78, down 48 thousand from preliminary approval due to state department cuts. Local property taxes provide about 5.6 million, with 134 thousand from federal funds and 2.4 million via district contracts. Dwight Bode noted an average 8.5 percent salary rise for staff and listed cuts including 4000 from new firms, 9000 from education services, and 34000 from eliminating two strategist positions and equipment in special education.
