Principals across schools reject a revised proposal that would reduce teacher meeting hours, saying it would not lead to a signed pay agreement. Multiple outlets report that school leaders have communicated their position to Premier Ben Carroll, indicating they will not proceed with a deal if meeting-time reductions are included. The reporting also notes that the prospect of further industrial action remains part of the dispute, with sources describing an ongoing risk of additional strikes. While the details of the revised pay deal are not fully set out in the excerpts, the consistent theme across coverage is that principals are linking acceptance of any agreement to the retention of current meeting hour arrangements. The situation is presented as part of a wider negotiation context involving pay terms and working conditions for teachers and school staff, with the government seeking revisions and principals pushing back against changes affecting meeting time. The reports characterize the latest exchange as a refusal by school leaders to sign off on the revised terms. The dispute remains unresolved as negotiations continue.
