This essay examines discussions over the future of a rural public school through the lens of security, comparing defense‐oriented preparations for school shootings with local concerns around declining enrollment and unemployment. It takes stock of the material, financial, and affective resources at stake when the future of rural North America is forecasted through inevitable decline or crisis rather than community investment.
