Deadline Reminder from the Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting Division
January 16, 2026: Deadline for Requesting Indirect Cost Rates for School Year 2026–2027 (Independent School Districts Only)
As described in the October 30, 2025 letter posted to the TEA Correspondence page, 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 for 2026–2027 school year, is January 16, 2026. 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 2026–2027 school year.
Completing and Submitting the Workbook
The ICRP ACW and the Instruction Manual are 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).
ICRP ACW Office Hours
TEA staff will be hosting an office hour session to assist school districts and answer questions related to the completion of the ICRP ACW: January 6, 2026 – 9:00am to 10:00am: Register here.
