The government will spend in excess of $130,000 for repairs at Stephen Dillet and Uriah McPhee primary schools, according to officials.
Coleman Andrews, first assistant secretary of education, said repairs at Stephen Dillet will cost around $70,000, while repairs at Uriah McPhee will cost just over $60,000.
He previously estimated Stephen Dillet would cost around $50,000 to repair.
Problems with the air conditioning units, mold and a rodent infestation were discovered at the schools after the Bahamas Union of Teachers (BUT) staged a sit-in last Thursday over those health concerns.
While both schools were closed for repairs on Friday and Monday, they are expected to be reopened today.
Minister of Education, Science and Technology Jerome Fitzgerald said mold was discovered in the ceiling last week.
He said no signs of mold were discovered during the Ministry of Education's assessment in April.
"There may be issues that may have arisen [since] April, when we did our scope of work, and there may be some that just arose during the summer when we went to do some works and some things were brought to our attention," Fitzgerald said.
Deputy Director in the Ministry of Works, Caldwell Pratt, who has responsibility for buildings, said a team within the Ministry of Works will conduct general maintenance of the air conditioning units at both schools.
Fitzgerald said there has only been a minimal impact on students after missing four days of classes at the schools.
