Memphis-Shelby County Schools superintendent Toni Williams appeared to tell board members Wednesday that a lawsuit is coming if the district does not have an "equal or better" option for campus communities at four schools in Germantown and Millington set for transfers."Let me be extremely clear: We believe that this law is unconstitutional," Williams said, referencing a new state law requiring the district to transfer the school buildings.
