Perhaps, but that isn't my stance. I think funding shouldn't be tied to a fluctuating tax like property taxes. Make it a flat tax on each person living in the district. The larger the district, the larger the school generally is, so it all works out. Also make the amount of tax decided on the local level. I don't care for all this state shifting of money from high performing areas to low performing areas. Just feeds the bureaucracy that eats up the majority of the education budget anyway.
