A ruling by a King County Superior Court judge could send Seattle Public Schools back to the drawing board with regard to its controversial new math curriculum.

Calling the choice of the Discovering series 'arbitrary' and 'capricious,' Judge Julie Spector on Thursday ordered the district's board to further review the choice of its math curriculum.

A group of parents who object to the Discovering series had sued the school district, its board and Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson."
