Paying Teachers to Create Learning Materials?

Recently our district visited another school district who paid a group of teachers to create lesson materials and another group of teachers and administration to review and approve created materials. They had a very detailed plan that encompassed course design, a review process and timeline of roll-out. I was just curious as to whether any other school districts have thought of the idea of paying teachers to design and or create course materials?
