Every secondary school in the country and all mainland primaries are due to shut to pupils next Thursday.
If the dispute is not resolved the SSTA union, which represents many secondary school teachers, plans to strike in the week beginning 5 December, with the exact date still to be confirmed.
Councils have also been confirming their arrangements for pupils who are entitled to free school meals. The union remains hopeful that a new pay offer will be made before the strike takes place although, as of Friday afternoon, no further meetings of the committee where pay is negotiated are in the diary.
Councils get much of their money from the Scottish government and regularly highlight their difficult financial situation. The government, in turn, is at pains to argue that any improved pay offers will mean hard choices elsewhere.
