[2] The following justifications for the proposition were officially advanced [citation needed]: Public schools require more government funding to nurture student learning, promote more student activities, and to provide more extracurricular activities.

Getting proper funding and allocating it correctly have always been a challenge for public schools.

With this funding schools can keep textbooks up to date and have adequate computer resources.

With additional funds they can organize more field trips or out of class activities for the students.

The proposition was created and largely funded by Pasadena civil rights attorney Molly Munger.
