(1) Local School Boards are not a good vehicle for a long legal fight, because the electoral turnover is too quick -- as quick as a whim.
(2) Judges make science. In today's culture science is dicta. That is what you wanted, right?

The lesson of Dover (short version):
A local school board stocked with creationists sought to have their particular narrow brand of religion taught as science. They got caught. It cost the school district over a million dollars. The school board got turned out of office.

Bingo- Ignore Coyoteman’s repeated attempts to belittle Creationism and ID by citing activists judges and hteir decisions as some supposed support that ID isn’t science- Nothign of hte sort was determined in that case- The truth ios that judges and lawyers all across the world were stunned at How ‘Judge’ (and I use that word loosley) Jones overstepped his role as a judge and turned activist law creator. (Btw- over 40 states have allowed discussions abotu ID and allowing people to expose the problems of Darwinism in school science classes now- So, while an activist judge shirked his sworn oath to judge objectively, it has brought the issue to hte forefront, and people are now questioning why a judge was so activist in his ruling, and they are now investigating hte claism of Macreovolution much more carefully insteado f just accepting what they are told without quesiton- and what they are finding is quite shocking- The claims of Macroevolutionists are not nearly as ‘settled’ as they were told- so Jone’s descision, while a setback, has proved more than helpful to get the REAL science into our classes and discussed hte way it should be.
