Rate Explanation: The U.S. Department of Education (USED) has delegated to the State of
Vermont Agency of Education the authority to issue indirect cost rates to all Local Education Agencies (LEAs) based on a plan approved by the USED. Therefore, the Green Mountain Unified School District does not use the 10% de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The Green Mountain Unified School District reports U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foods consumed on the Schedule at the fair value [or entitlement value]. The State of Vermont allocated USDA Foods to the respective program(s) that benefitted from the use of those USDA Foods.
