↵Notes: The table compares the baseline estimates (Panel A) to estimates of samples restricted to students enrolled in KPS at the time of Promise announcement and to the classes of 2003–2008 (Panel B). (All ineligible students from the classes of 2009 or later either had interrupted KPS enrollment or entered the district after the Promise was announced.) Standard errors are in brackets. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01. All regressions include dummies for after the Promise’s introduction, individual (pseudo-)eligibility, and graduation year. Other controls are sex, race/ethnicity, free/reduced-price lunch status, and high school of graduation-by-graduation year.
