I'm Todd Fane, I'm running for the Park Hill School District Board of Education in Kansas City, Missouri and I want your vote.
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and spent summers at my Grandmother’s farm in Bagley, Iowa. Attending Parkway South High School I excelled in Track and graduated with honors. I continued my education at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri where I arrived with a solid academic year under my belt because of the AP benefits my High School offered. Graduating in 1991 with a triple major in Biology, Business Administration and Economics I began as a Finance Manager for a healthcare company based in Parkville, Missouri.
My career in finance continued to thrive at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where I served as a Financial Officer for the University while acquiring my MBA from SMU’s Cox School of Business. It was this work experience that gave me insights into the intricacies of education; I learned the business side of providing an education while, at the same time, being a consumer of that same education.
My career has since spanned a diverse path of progressive responsibilities ranging from marketing, sales, operations and presently as the Director of IT at Truman Medical Center. In this position, I have had the privilege of leading a talented team that is dedicated to improving the efficiency and quality of care to our community.
While in college I developed my commitment to community involvement and organized an environmental group that reached out to elementary schools to educate on the importance of sustainability and preservation of our environment, created a campus wide recycling program and served as an Officer for Student Government. As a hospice volunteer I gained a deeper reverence for life. And as a participant in several sub-committees for the Park Hill School Board my community pride has grown as I experienced the quality of its leaders, educators and staff and the achievements of our students.
I believe I can make a difference … so I volunteer.

Is Todd the Best Candidate?
Who Am I?
My wife, Kiki and I returned to Park Hill in 2002 to afford our children an opportunity to cultivate a strong sense of identity with family who are long time residents of the area. As the father of 4 children I have cumulatively spent 15 years at Park Hill … only 38 more to go. I’ve spent much of my free time volunteering and am proud to be a readily recognizable face in the schools that my children attend. As well, I have served on several Park Hill School Board sub-committees as a member on the Alternative Pay Task Force, as a Parent Representative on the Quality Panel, and multiple years on the Policy Committee where I currently serve as Chairman.
I have diverse career experience that spans finance, marketing, sales and operations. Currently I serve as the Director of IT at a local hospital where I manage a large team dedicated to improving the healthcare of our broader community.
Why am I running?
I am dedicated to making a difference in my community and find that my talents and personality are suited for building consensus and collaboratively crafting long-range strategic goals. If elected, my vision is aggressive deployment of technology solutions to support and optimize teaching resources. My belief is that technology can augment the classroom experience and can personalize curriculum that will lead to motivated students enhancing both quality and outcome of the entire educational experience.
Significant Challenges Facing The Park Hill School District
• Changing Demographics
• Looming Budget Challenges
• Growth, Capacity Issues
Why you should vote for me?
I am committed to our community and our schools and have experience working with the leaders of the Park Hill School District. I have a sincere interest to engage our citizens, listen to their ideas, and work together to plan ways to improve our community’s most valuable asset and legacy--our children’s futures.
