This case was specifically written for practicing school leaders, as well as educational leadership preparation programs, to help create a nuanced conversation about how to decenter whiteness in the practices and policies of rural schools in the United States. The work is challenging, particularly given how race is baked into social institutions throughout the United States, including but not limited to financial, health care, and education systems. Educators reading this case should examine the historic factors that contribute to a racialized rural United States, as well as what can be done within rural education systems to help decenter whiteness.
