Primary school principals who belong to the Educational Institute have knocked back a $6000 pay rise offered by the Ministry of Education spread over two years.
The same offer has been refused by primary school teachers, but accepted by secondary school principals represented by the Secondary Principals Association.
The principals' union says the offer does not fix problems with work load and demands on their time and its members are frustrated.
May Road School principal Lynda Stuart spoke to Corin Dann.
