  • Education remained a core component of KCJO's mission and strategic planning. A specific objective of the plan was to expand access to jazz education for students and educators in both urban and rural school districts. KCJO advanced this goal through multiple initiatives, including summer camp partnerships and conference performances. During the summer of 2024, KCJO musicians visited 19 locations across the region and reached an estimated 2,000 students, many of whom attend schools with limited access to arts programming. In addition, KCJO performed at the Missouri Music Educators Association (MMEA) Conference, reaching more than 800 Missouri music educators and students and increasing statewide awareness of KCJO's educational and artistic resources.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
