Secondary school principals to announce tomorrow if they've accepted Govt's latest offer

The new agreement includes pay parity with their high school counterparts.

Secondary school principals are expected to reveal tomorrow if they've accepted the Government's latest collective agreement offer, a PPTA spokesperson says.

It includes an average pay rise of 14.5 per cent over three years, six weeks annual leave and a $500 payment for union members.

Voting in the ballot wrapped up last night.

It comes after earlier in the month the Post Primary Teachers' Association and the Secondary Principals' Association said they had walked away from the talks because the Ministry of Education had not yet made an offer.

More than 1900 principals are calling for pay parity with their secondary colleagues.

Last week, though, primary and intermediate principals decided to accept the latest pay offer from the Government.

Their new agreement includes pay parity with secondary school principals, pay rises for three years and a higher pay scale for those at the country's smallest schools.
