January 26, 2018: Deadline for Requesting Indirect Cost Rates for 2018-2019
(Independent School Districts Only)
As described
in the December 8, 2017 letter posted to the TEA Correspondence page, effective with school year 2018–2019, all
previous indirect cost rate extensions are rescinded and ISDs must request an
indirect cost rate each year by completing and submitting the Indirect Cost
Rate Proposal (ICRP) Additional Costs Workbook. The deadline for submitting
the workbook, and thus requesting an indirect cost rate, is January 26,
2018.
The submission of the ICRP Additional Costs Workbook serves as an
ISD’s request for an indirect cost rate. Rates will be calculated only for ISDs
that submit a completed workbook. If the ISD does not submit a completed
workbook, TEA will not calculate or issue a rate for that ISD for the 2018–2019
school year.
Completing and Submitting the Workbook
The ICRP
Additional Costs Workbook and the Instruction Manual are
available on the Indirect Cost Rates page of the TEA website, and the ICRP
Additional Costs Workbook is also available in the secure GFFC
Reports and Data Collections application (accessible through TEAL).
The ISD must submit the workbook through the secure GFFC
Report and Data Collections application. The ICRP Additional Costs Workbook Instruction Manual includes
step-by-step upload instructions.
Consequence of Failing to Comply
Since all previously-extended indirect cost rates have been
rescinded, if an LEA does not submit the ICRP
Additional Costs Workbook to TEA by the January 26, 2018, deadline, that LEA will not have indirect cost
rates for use during fiscal year 2018-2019.

Compliance and Reporting Division at compliance@tea.texas.gov or call (512) 463-9127.
