The leadership of the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland is meeting to decide what form of industrial action to take following members' rejection of the Haddington Road Agreement on Friday.
Members of the ASTI, which represents 17,000 secondary school teachers, voted against the agreement by 63% to 37%.
In a contingent poll, 65% of members voted in favour of industrial action, with 35% against.
Meanwhile, the Irish Federation of University Teachers has voted to accept the Haddington Road deal.
The 23-strong Standing Committee of the ASTI faces a difficult decision today.
Following the university lecturers' acceptance of the deal, the ASTI is isolated from other public service unions, who have accepted proposals that include pay cuts, an increment freeze and longer working hours.
By rejecting the deal, ASTI members now find themselves worse off than their fellow public servants, as they will be subject to emergency financial legislation known as FEMPI, which some have described as draconian.
Sources say that initially the ASTI is unlikely to go for a strike.
Instead, they may cease doing the 33 hours of additional work agreed under the first Croke Park Agreement.
That is more likely to affect administrative tasks, rather than teaching hours for pupils.
However, ASTI General Secretary Pat King has not ruled out an escalation, noting that their ballot backed industrial action, up to and including full strike action.
