Here is what buy back means in my district – Im getting three of them prior to the kids starting in late august: (it might be only a local district thing – you just might be teaching in my district) It is an agreement in the contract that allows the district to pay you for your services for a day. They only use it for staff development – and they pay you your regular payrate. So those who choose to not attend, dont lose anything salarywise – those who do attend get paid extra. Its a negotiated way to save a few bucks for the district – and do staff development that wont take time away from students.
