Can indirect costs be charged to the Professional Development Block Grants? If yes, at which rate?
Yes, consistent with the California Department of Education’s existing indirect cost rate guidance, the Professional Development Block Grant may be charged for indirect costs, provided the amount charged does not exceed the local educational agency’s approved indirect cost rate. Further information on indirect costs can be found on the California Department of Education Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/ac/ic/.
