make sure what we have is accurate and complete, and to follow up on any expenses
that we were not able to find or classify. I’ll start with labor and then ask about nonlabor expenses. I also have a copy of the expense statement provided for reference.
I see the expense statement covers [DATE] to [DATE]. Is that correct?

PART 1 – CALCULATION OF INDIRECT COSTS FOR SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE
The purpose of this section is to gather information about how indirect costs are applied in the
financial reporting for school food service. In this section, I’ll ask you to provide information on
whether and how your school district charged and recovered its indirect costs for school year 20242025 from the school food service account. [WALK THROUGH HANDOUT 4 WITH RESPONDENT.]

financial statement for the school food service account. The indirect costs charged may be
different from the amount of indirect costs calculated, or from the amount recovered by the
school district.

PART 3 –RECOVERY OF INDIRECT COST FOR SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE
Finally, we are interested in the recovery of the indirect cost of school food service
according to the method that your school district used to calculate indirect costs for
school year 2024-2025. Indirect costs are recovered when funds are transferred from the
school food service account to the school district’s general fund to cover the indirect
costs incurred by the school district in support of school food service.

IMPRESO 4: Definiciones de costos indirectos
Preguntaremos acerca de calcular, cargar y recuperar los costos indirectos. Pediremos
las tasas con y sin restricción de la SFA. Las definiciones de estos tres términos y
términos adicionales usados en la entrevista se encuentran a continuación.
Calcular costos indirectos para el servicio de alimentos de la escuela significa que el distrito
escolar aplica su tasa de costos indirectos u otro método para determinar el costo indirecto
atribuible al servicio de alimentos de la escuela durante un período específico como el año
fiscal o escolar. Los costos indirectos deben ser calculados antes de poder cargarlos y
recuperarlos.
Cargar costos indirectos para el servicio de alimentos de la escuela significa que el costo
indirecto es anotado como un gasto en la declaración financiera para la cuenta del servicio de
alimentos de la escuela. Los costos indirectos pueden ser cargados pero no recuperados si el
distrito escolar decide no transferir fondos iguales a los costos cargados de la cuenta del
servicio de alimentos de la escuela al fondo general.
Recuperar costos indirectos significa que se transfieren fondos, de la cuenta del servicio de
alimentos de la escuela y otros programas y subvenciones, al fondo general del distrito escolar,
para pagar costos indirectos.
Definiciones adicionales usadas en esta entrevista
Base de costos directos es el costo total del servicio de alimentos durante el año escolar
2024 - 2025, menos cualquier monto excluido al calcular los costos indirectos (p.ej. inversiones
en capital fijo).
Tasa de costos indirectos es calculada como:
Tasa de costos indirectos = Total de costos indirectos ÷ Total de costos directos
Nota: Ciertos costos pueden ser excluidos de costos indirectos o directos según reglas
Federales y Estatales aplicables de calcular y reclamar los costos indirectos.
Tasas indirectas con restricción (tasas con restricción) son usadas para las subvenciones,
como del Título I, con el requisito de que los fondos Federales complementen y no sustituyan
los fondos no Federales.
Tasas indirectas sin restricción (tasas sin restricción) pueden ser usadas cuando no aplica
un requisito de que los fondos Federales complementen y no sustituyan los fondos no
Federales.
Planes de asignación de costos indirectos usan factores además de un porcentaje de costos
directos para determinar el monto de los costos indirectos.
