A public employment model was used to estimate the response of "rural" K-12 Wisconsin school district spending per student to variables such as opportunity wage, tax base per student, number of students, grade composition of students, and grants per student. The magnitude of the resulting expenditure elasticities was small, and some signs differed from a prior study of all K-12 Wisconsin school districts.
