With a recognition that there are challenges associated with adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding, local school boards handling teacher requests typically encourage creative solutions that utilize existing resources.

(A) With a recognition that there are challenges associated with adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding
(B) Because adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding have challenges they recognize
(C) Because of a recognition that adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding having challenges
(D) Recognizing the challenges associated with adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding
(E) Since adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding have challenges associated with them and they recognize it

D uses correct -ing modifier to explain the subsequent action of local school boards.
So, D is my answer.

Quote:
(A) With a recognition that there are challenges associated with adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding
The actor of the main clause and "With + noun + participle" acting as modifier of the noun is correct. Lets keep this option and look at other options
Quote:
(B) Because adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding have challenges they recognize
Quote:
(C) Because of a recognition that adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding having challenges
because of is a compound preposition and should only take noun.
Quote:
(D) Recognizing the challenges associated with adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding
verb+ing modifier correctly modifies local school boards. Lets park this as well
Quote:
(E) Since adopting new curriculum and securing additional funding have challenges associated with them and they recognize it
the antecedent for the pronoun "them" is ambiguous.

Between A and D, D is more clear.
