Currow Primary School and Anabla National School will get finance for mechanical work while Knockanes Primary School, which has 75 pupils, received support for similar work.
A total of 21 primary and post primary schools in Kerry will benefit from the summer works scheme.
It is part of a national investment of almost €36 million in the first round of school improvements to be undertaken this coming summer.
