East Central Gets New Buset For Commuter! Two new busses have recently been purchased by East Central Junior College, Decatur , for the transportation of students from Leake and Scott Counties. Millage support provided by the Scott and Leake County Board of Supervisors enables students from these counties to >ride the busses to East Central free of charge. This is the ninth year that bus transportation has been provided to Scott County, and the second year for Leake County.
