Abstract	This paper uses a policy change involving statewide school district refinancing in Kansas during the early 1990s to identify the relationship between per-pupil expenditure and the probability that a student will progress to higher education. Kansas's school district refinancing was intended to equalize per-pupil expenditure conditional on a measure of cost developed by the state. This equalization process resulted in a change in spending that, although not completely exogenous, is understood well enough that an unbiased estimate of the effect of spending on students' post-secondary destinations can be made. Since additional years of education are known to increase lifetime earnings, a simple cost-benefit analysis of a hypothetical spending increase is considered. (DIPF/Orig.)
