* Niji-Iro Japanese Immersion Elementary School is a public two-way Japanese-English immersion elementary school that opened on August 11, 2014.
* Niji Iro School began after a series of events related to Hinoki International School, which opened in 2010 as a charter school authorized by LPS. The school leased from LPS, occupying formerly-operating campuses, including McKinley Elementary School, and Taylor Elementary School. In March 2014, founder Ted Delphia stated that he had no further desire to manage Hinoki. Randy Liepa, the superintendent of Livonia schools, asked the board of the Hinoki school to merge with the Livonia School District. In May 2014, the Hinoki board voted to follow the recommendations of Hinoki parents and the PTO, and remain a charter school while entering into talks with LPS about possibly becoming part of that district in 2015-16. Liepa declined to renew the lease of the Livonia school facility. On July 28, Livonia Public Schools revoked the Hinoki charter since the charter school had no building.
*Using the former Taylor Elementary building, LPS then opened a district-operated school-of-choice elementary school with a similar program, called the Niji-Iro Japanese Immersion Elementary School. For the 2014-15 school year, approximately 115 of the 185 students that were originally enrolled with Hinoki prior to its charter revocation enrolled in Niji-Iro, and the majority of teachers were hired to work there as well. As a district school Niji-Iro began operations on August 11, 2014. As of the 2014-2015 school year it had 130 students in grades Kindergarten through 4, with plans to add grades 5 and 6.
*Anne Hooghart, the president of the school board, accused Delphia of conspiring with LPS to take control of the school without the board's consent, while Delphia denied this. Karen Smith of O & E Media wrote that "Hinoki stakeholders viewed the Livonia board's actions as a hostile takeover of their school, recruiting teachers and students without the Hinoki board's knowledge."
