Lorain School Superintendent Dr Charles Nunley defends a voluntary desegregation plan that reassigns about 1000 students after Charleston Elementary closes to nearest schools.

The plan also converts Charleston into a vocational center and adds bilingual centers for non English speaking students as part of broader access to quality education. State Board of Education may conduct on site review this month following civil rights group push.
