In all the pre- and post-election news, we missed a recent filing with the state Supreme Court on the McCleary education funding case. The organization Washington's Paramount Duty, which has been quite vocal in calling for "new revenue" for K-12 education but not specific about where it should come from, on Nov. 7 asked the court to clarify whether the state must extend a deadline for school districts to raise more funds from local levies.

Under the so-called "levy cliff," a temporary lift of the cap on how much districts can raise from levies is set to expire on Jan. 1, 2018. Washington's Paramount Duty notes that since the court gave the state a deadline of Sept. 1, 2018 to fully fund basic education, there could very well be a gap during which districts lose a significant source of funding.

The filing notes instances of school districts already planning to cut their budgets if the January 2018 deadline isn't extended.
