Member for Dubbo and deputy premier Troy Grant said the 2017 funding was made possible by signing the Gonski agreement.
“These extra resources go directly to our Dubbo schools, allowing principals to better meet the unique needs of their students and school community,” he said.
“I have seen schools in the Dubbo electorate employ additional teachers with expertise to assist students who need extra support in key learning areas like literacy and numeracy.”
In NSW the needs-based funding is distributed under the Resource Allocation Model, which uses information about student needs to deliver resources where they are needed most.
