Jodi's coverage primarily focuses on local education and government announcements in the Kansas City area, with a strong emphasis on school-related issues such as test scores, bond measures, and initiatives to support students. She may be interested in pitches related to educational policies, local government decisions impacting schools or student welfare, and human interest stories within the education sector.

Community activists, educators with experience in addressing these issues locally or experts familiar with regional educational policies could be valuable sources for her articles.
