Bad idea. If schools do need more funding its not the business of the courts to say so. Funding decisions shouldn't be made by courts.

Seattle's experience with such lawsuits began in 1976, when city voters rejected two levies, and the district was forced to slash expenses and lay off teachers.

Typical. Voters reject additional taxes, so the politicians threaten or actually cut the more important and/or popular programs first, in order to try and convince the voters to accept the increase, rather then cutting out less important or popular things first.
