by suggesting that local school districts run independent fundraisers

Answer 1

By proposing that the state legislature fund it in the budget.

Explanation: Governors typically propose budgets and request funding, but the state legislature must approve appropriations. They cannot unilaterally raise state revenue or rely primarily on local fundraisers or federal grants.
