Friday, May 16, 2025

As outlined in the April 17, 2025 To the Administrator Addressed (TAA) letter posted to the TEA Correspondence webpage, independent school districts that requested an indirect cost rate must review, approve, and certify their Indirect Cost Rate Proposal (ICRP) data by May 16, 2025. To obtain TEA’s calculated indirect cost rates, the school district must submit the ICRP Certification by the deadline.

Note* This deadline only applies to independent school districts that requested an indirect cost rate in January 2025.

Completing and Submitting the ICRP Certification

The ICRP is available in the secure GFFC Reports and Data Collections application, accessible through TEAL. Instructions for completing the school district review/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 school district’s approval of the final restricted and unrestricted indirect cost rates for 2025–2026.
