Of Victoria's 1500 state schools, 282 have been selected to share in the funding.
Tatura Primary School, Mooroopna North Primary School and Cobram and District Specialist School have been allocated $5000 each for "high priority maintenance tasks" to address roof plumbing issues.
Mooroopna Secondary College has received $20,000 to tackle its roof plumbing problems.
The funding is on top of $10.4 million granted to 230 schools in Term 1 dedicated to the maintenance and safety of school buildings.
State Member for Northern Victoria Mark Gepp welcomed the funds.
“This investment ensures local students can learn in safe settings that complement the top-class education we are committed to providing,” he said.
“I’m delighted to see schools across the Goulburn Valley share in funding to get these much-needed maintenance projects off the ground.”
Education Minister James Merlino said investing in maintenance works meant schools could "tend to those essential projects that will ensure our students and teachers have access to safe and modern learning environments".
