Good morning, St. Augustine. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 14th of May.

EDUCATION NEWS

  • Four superintendent finalists—Scott Schneider, Dr. Brennan Asplen, Dr. Marianne Simon and Dr. Kyle Dresback—met Tuesday night with students, parents and community members, and the school board will vote on a new superintendent on May 20 at 9 a.m. at the district administrative building with the chosen candidate expected to start by July 1.  First Coast News

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and is expected to have more storms than usual with Andrea as its first named storm. The National Hurricane Center will start daily tropical outlooks on May 15—new updates will include a smaller cone for tracking storm centers and longer advisory notice for storm surges.  The St. Augustine Record

FINANCE NEWS

  • Florida homeowners insurance often does not cover damage from natural aging, sinkholes, or careless repairs, so homeowners are urged to review their policies before hurricane season begins. Experts say the insurance market is slowly stabilizing after a long crisis—however, buying a new policy will remain challenging from June 1 to Nov. 30.  The St. Augustine Record

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • St. Johns County reversed its plan to demolish the Old County Jail — the building that held Martin Luther King Jr. and 16 rabbis in 1964 — after public outcry from historians and community members; the county will prepare a renovation plan to add space for county offices.  The St. Augustine Record
