Lunch scandal
In late 2019, staff at Green Primary School disposed of a student's hot lunch and replaced it with a cheese sandwich with milk, due to his negative lunch money balance, on top of that it was his birthday:September 3. According to his grandma upon coming off the bus he said that it was his "worst birthday ever". Green Local Schools addressed the allegations later that week and reformed its lunch policy after receiving nation-wide criticism.[4]
