From Morning Report, 7:42 am on 2 September 2020

A private Green School in Taranaki has found itself at the centre of a political battle after being granted $11.7 million dollars through the government's shovel-ready projects fund.

Green Party co-leader James Shaw initially supported the proposal, but has now had to apologise after it was revealed that went against party policy and caused uproar amongst both opponents and supporters of the party.

So what does a Green School do, and will it accept the controversial funding?

Green School chief executive Chris Edwards speaks to Susie Ferguson.
