"Edit: the fully funding was in place in 2018"
How fast do you expect results?
The Washington Supreme Court decision: http://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/843627.opn.pdf http://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/843627.opn.pdf
"The State has failed to meet its duty under article IX, section 1 by consistently providing school districts with a level of resources that falls short of the actual costs of the basic education program. The legislature recently enacted sweeping reforms to remedy the deficiencies in the funding system, and it is currently making progress toward phasing in those reforms."
Apparently the state was calling for a level of funding, but not providing the money and requiring local taxes to make up the difference. (Hence "fully funding".)

- mcguire 5y agoYou cannot produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. Summer of 2018 is too late for the 2018/2019 year. That gives them 2019/2020 (half messed up due to the pandemic) and 2020/2021 (half messed up and ongoing). Since this seems to be yet another issue of a state screwing low income districts, one wouldn't expect any change in high income districts, either.
