Not enough data
Carolyn's coverage is deeply focused on local education and government, particularly in California. She frequently reports on school interventions, student performance data, and the impact of policies on schools. When reaching out to Carolyn with pitches or expert insights, consider offering perspectives related to educational policy changes, school interventions, and their impacts.
Given her emphasis on local reporting within California’s education system and government announcements related to education policies, she would be interested in sources who can provide insights into how these developments specifically affect students and schools within the state. This could include educators, policymakers with direct experience working in California's education sector or analysts specializing in this area.
Since a significant portion of her articles cite data (12%), experts providing statistically backed information regarding educational trends may also find success when reaching out to her.

In summary California is on the brink of a total overhaul in the way it governs K-12 schools, but whether those changes actually happen or fade into irrelevance will come down to one person: the next governor.
A new law gives the governor greater control over K12 education, testing whether a more centralized system can lead to better outcomes for students.
