Well, it was like $40 for the whole day, so it's not anywhere near making up for a day's wage, but yeah, my school district made the deal with teachers that if we give them that check, then we get our full day's pay without having to use vacation time. It's clear that our judicial system is invested in keeping as many people off jury duty as possible, making it so people who can't afford to take time off or have no PTO can't serve. Grrrr.
