What part of the Arizona’s State Constitution, or the US Constitution gives the Judicial branch of government the jurisdiction or authority to determine funding for education?

That jurisdiction and authority is granted not by a constitution but rather by the people themselves. They grant the power when a judge does something not sanctioned by the constitution and the people fail to put a stop to it. Another good example is the Mississippi judge who issued a ruling forbidding outdoor activities by schools in his state when the temperature got so high that he, in his judicial wisdom, decided it was dangerous.

He made the ruling and everyone simply went along with it. Presto, no messy constitutional conventions or super-majority votes or bothersome court hearings on the language of an ammendment. One day no such constraints, the next they are in full force.
