Announcement from the Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting Division
January 18, 2019: Deadline for Requesting Indirect Cost Rates for School Year 2019–2020 (Independent School Districts Only)
A To the Administrator Addressed (TAA) letter will post to the TEA Correspondence page in the next couple of weeks, announcing the indirect cost rate process for school year 2019–2020. Independent school districts (ISDs) must request an indirect cost rate each year by completing and submitting the Indirect Cost Rate Proposal (ICRP) Additional Costs Workbook (ACW). The deadline for submitting the workbook, and thus requesting an indirect cost rate, is January 18, 2019.
The submission of the ICRP ACW 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 2019–2020 school year.
Completing and Submitting the Workbook
The ICRP ACW and the Instruction Manual are now available on the Indirect Cost Rates page of the TEA website, and the ICRP ACW is also available in the secure GFFC Reports and Data Collections application (accessible through TEAL).
The ISD must submit the workbook (in Excel format) through the secure GFFC Report and Data Collections application. The Instruction Manual includes step-by-step upload instructions.
Training Opportunities
Please reference the previous 11/15/18 GovDelivery Bulletin for information about upcoming ICRP ACW training to be held at three Education Service Centers (ESCs) across the state in November and December.
Consequence of Failing to Comply
If an LEA does not submit the ICRP ACW to TEA by the January 18, 2019, deadline, that LEA will not be issued indirect cost rates for use during school year 2019–2020.
