Green Primary School was renovated and now serves students preschool to grade 1.

Lunch scandal

In September 2019, staff at Green Primary School disposed of a 9-year-old student's hot lunch and replaced it with a cheese sandwich and milk due to his negative lunch money balance. This, coupled with the fact that it was the student's birthday, led to widespread media scrutiny. Green Local Schools addressed the allegations later that week and reformed its lunch policy after receiving nation-wide criticism.^[11]
