Vivian loves going to second grade in Orinda.
But Orinda Union School District doesn't want her there.
The school district has ordered Vivian, the 7-year-old daughter of a live-in nanny at a home in the well-to-do area, to leave her "beloved" elementary school after hiring a private investigator to determine that she does not qualify for public school in the area, according to reports.
The Contra Costa Times reports that Vivian and her mother Maria -- their last names are not reported -- were told via a letter from school officials on Nov. 12 that they'd been investigated and deemed ineligible.
This has "infuriated" Miran Storch, 35, the woman for whom Maria keeps house in a 4,000 square-foot home.
Maria and Vivian live at the home, but Vivian may now have to move into her grandmother's home in Bay Point in order to attend a school there, according to the newspaper.
Storch has informed school officials that the pair live at the home throughout the week but spend weekends in Bay Point. Vivian has her own bedroom at the Orinda house.

It's not clear why or how the investigation began. Storch thinks it's because Vivian is one of the few Latinas in an overwhelmingly-white school district.
The private investigator, however, was told by Maria that the family lived in Bay Point, where Maria receives mail, because she feared that the man was working for her estranged ex-husband in an attempt to find out where she lived.
School officials declined to comment.
