Rural schools are welcoming extra support from the Government to deal with rising fuel costs. 

Small schools will receive one-off additional funding, and 70 schools will receive a one-off grant to speed up the replacement of diesel boilers.  

Mileage support for rural relief teachers is also being doubled. 

Rural Schools Leadership Association president Andrew King told Mike Hosking it's been hard for country schools to soak up these extra costs.  

He says having that extra money means they won't have to think about where to pool money from.
