I would not do this. Not on social media.

As a middle-to-late resort, the local news stations would be a much better option, ONLY if the administration wasn't doing anything. Then you get LOCAL pressure, AKA the folks that elect school boards, pack school board meetings, pay the salaries of school administration and teachers... If it's major of a deal enough, it'll make it out there for the rest of the world to see.

But once it's on social media, only the entire world can see that X, Y, and Z are "making life difficult" for you guys. While that does get some attention, it'll be split into "huh?", "I should care because?", "whiners", and "Oh, we need to do something", and most of the folks out there aren't going to be anywhere near in range to do anything. Other than by petition that will likely be ignored, that is.

Also, the odds of there actually being video evidence--that can actually work--are very slim by the very nature of the issue.
