This reminds me of something that happened in TN a few years ago that almost bankrupted the state. SCOTN ruled that a similar "equal distribution of funding clause" in the TN constitution meant that rural and urban schools in the state had to be funded equally in ACTUAL per student dollars. They didn't take into account differing urban/rural needs, cost of living differences, and all the other factors that should have been considered. It literally cost billions - that combined with our Rolls-Royce public health insurance forced the state to enact a "doomsday" budget, and almost got us an income tax.

Same-ness in the name of fairness will be the end of us all.
