The state of Washington isn't fully paying for basic public education, a violation of its constitutional duty, a King County judge ruled Thursday in a lawsuit brought by a coalition of school districts, parents and teachers.
....School districts, community leaders and others participating in the suit said the state was leaving school districts to rely on local levies, donations and PTA fundraisers to educate students.
The state doesn't provide enough money to give every child a chance to meet the state's essential learning requirements, the judge said. Instead, the state depends on funding formulas that don't correlate with the actual cost to teach the state's 1 million children, he wrote.
