Senate Bill 2461 would merge the school districts in Houston, Houlka and Okolona. The Senate had earlier proposed only merging Houston and Houlka, leaving Okolona independent.

Okolona has threatened to ask the U.S. Justice Department to block any merger based on Okolona’s desegregation order. Leaders in all three districts oppose any form of consolidation.
