History A 1969 desegregation order allowed people in a southern part of Leake County to attend the Scott County district's Sebastapol school. In 2010 a court ordered that such students (except those with parents with jobs in the relevant county) attend schools of the Leake County School District. This decision affected about 70-75 students.
