BBC Radio Jersey
Jersey teachers are expected to gather at the Weighbridge on Wednesday as part of continuing strike action.
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) are refusing to work in protest at the latest pay offer from the States. Members said they were unhappy with the latest 1.3% plus cost of living pay offer for 2019.
NEU President Brendan Carolan said the walkouts would only be called off if members were offered a new pay deal.
The States Employment Board has previously said teachers could not expect to get more than other public sector workers.
If the action goes ahead, it will be the first of eight planned days of walkouts.
However, final talks are under way, with States representatives attempting to stave off the planned industrial action.

Legal aid plans 'need additional funds of £400k a year'
BBC Radio Jersey
The system which helps Jersey people afford legal representation if they go to court needs money from the States to continue if it expands.
Both criminal and civil cases are currently entirely funded by the
legal profession and administered by the Bâtonnier
(head of the legal profession in the island).
The only
commitment from public funds is from the Judicial
Greffier who makes a contribution of about £70,000 to
support the Legal Aid Office.
According to a new report, the Legal Aid Office, duty solicitor and duty advocate scheme need additional funding of about £400,000 per year under changes proposed.
These would see the scheme jointly funded by the
government, which would pay for criminal legal aid
work, and the legal profession, which would cover civil
legal aid work.
The legal aid law is due for debate this week in the States.
Tuesday will be a dry day with plenty of sunshine and just a few patches of cloud.

BBC Radio Guernsey
A union says it was shocked to hear St John's chief ambulance officer left her post as part of a major restructuring of the organisation.
St John Ambulance and Rescue Services and St John Guernsey have been amalgamated into a single company, St John Ambulance Guernsey.
Chief ambulance officer Ali Marquis and her deputy, Joel de Woolfson, have been replaced by Mark Mapp and Dean de la Mare respectively, both of whom are experienced paramedics.
Other members of the board have also been replaced in moves to streamline operations and put people with more hands-on experience in senior roles.
The new chairman of the board, Roy Tilleard, would not comment on the changes except to say it was "a fresh start".
