The Grant Wood Area Education Agency board, meeting in Cedar Rapids, reviewed a $15.5 million tentative budget for 1981-82 amid concern from board member Susan Turner who urged more time to study the 95 page plan before commenting. Administrator Dwight Bode said figures are early recommendations and may change while noting enrollment data arrives Sept. 15. The board set a public hearing for Nov. 3 and approved sending the budget to the Iowa Department of Instruction by Nov. 15. The plan increases overall spending by 1.4 million with salaries rising about 9 percent to $9,030,710 and benefits at roughly $1.49 million.
