Data showed that Niji-Iro Japanese Immersion Elementary School welcomed 240 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 2.1% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the school. The most represented ethnicity was Asian, comprising 50% (120) of the student body.

Among the 26 schools in Livonia Public Schools School District, Stevenson High School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2023-24 school year.

Michigan Governor Whitmer has signed a new education budget for 2025 into law. The budget totals $23.4 billion, a decrease of approximately $900 million from the 2024 budget of $24.3 billion. Of the new funding, $20.6 billion will be allocated to K-12 schools, compared to $21.5 billion allocated for K-12 schools this year.

However, the new budget has raised concerns among school superintendents and educators. "Schools cannot function properly without adequate funding for safety and mental health," stated Rep. David Martin, R-Davison, referring to a significant cut of around $301 million from school safety and mental health programs. Based on the current bill, the program will receive just $26.5 million.
