Up to ten years of previous creditable experience in another public school system may be purchased at the time of initial employment by the School District of Omaha. Membership in the Nebraska School Employees Retirement System (which excludes Omaha employees) is considered "outside" service. In accordance with State statute, the purchase must be fully completed within five years of the date of reemployment.

The amount of the "buy-in" is calculated based on the salary received at the other public school (if that salary can be verified, otherwise the current salary of the employee in the Omaha School District) and the Omaha School Employees' Retirement System contribution rates in effect for those years of service.

To get an estimate of the cost to "Buy-In" your previous service you will need to enter your salary for each school year, up to a maximum of 10 years. If you have more than 10 years you must use the 10 most recent years of service salaries for the calculation.
