To the Administrator Addressed (TAA) Correspondence
The purpose of this letter is to inform independent school districts (ISDs) that the ºÚÁÏÍø×îÐÂÈë¿Ú (ºÚÁÏÍø×îÐÂÈë¿Ú) has uploaded the completed Indirect Cost Rate Proposals (ICRPs)in GFFC Reports and Data Collections. ISDs that requested an indirect cost rate must review, approve, and certify their ICRP data by May 20, 2022.
The ICRP is available in the secure GFFC Reports and Data Collections application, accessible through . To receive ºÚÁÏÍø×îÐÂÈë¿Ú’s calculated indirect cost rates, the ISD must review, approve, and certify its completed ICRP.
Instructions for completing the ISD review/approval/certification process are available in the ICRP Certification Instructions posted on the Indirect Cost Rates webpage. The Certification Instructions describe the ICRP review process and provide step-by-step instructions on how to certify and submit the ICRP Certification. The certification serves as the ISD’s approval of the final restricted and unrestricted indirect cost rates for 2022–2023.
Effective with school year 2018–2019, ISDs must request an indirect cost rate each year by completing and submitting the ICRP Additional Costs Workbook (ACW), as described in a To the Administrator Addressed letter of November 4, 2021. The deadline for submitting the workbook, and thus requesting indirect cost rates, was January 19, 2022.
The submission of the ICRP ACW serves as an ISD’s request for indirect cost rates. Rates are calculated only for ISDs that submitted a completed ICRP ACW. ºÚÁÏÍø×îÐÂÈë¿Ú received ICRP ACWs from the majority of Texas ISDs. For ISDs that did not submit a completed ICRP ACW, ºÚÁÏÍø×îÐÂÈë¿Ú did not calculate and will not issue rates for the 2022–2023 school year.
In completing an ICRP ACW, the ISD provided approximately 10% of the data required to complete the ICRP. ºÚÁÏÍø×îÐÂÈë¿Ú drew the remaining 90% of required ICRP data from the ISD’s certified Texas State Data System/Public Education Information Management System (TSDS/PEIMS) data.
ºÚÁÏÍø×îÐÂÈë¿Ú populated the completed ICRP for each ISD that submitted an ICRP ACW by merging TSDS/PEIMS data with the ISD’s submitted ACW data.
The following table lists the remaining steps in the indirect cost rate process.
