- Kevin Allen
"We already have concerned parents; what we need now is a concerned financial manager!"
Why this election matters to St. Johns County voters...
Voters approved a half-penny sales tax renewal and a 1-mill property tax increase. Kevin Allen brings the financial background to ensure every dollar is tracked, audited, and invested where it matters most: in the classroom.
Managing $33.2 Million in New Funding
$287M Capital Shortfall
Since 2007-08, our district has faced massive funding gaps while student population soared. Kevin Allen can recommend significant changes to not only manage funds but also apply them appropriately.
Fiscal Responsibility And Budget Transparency
Fiscal responsibility represents the foundation of effective school board governance and the area where Kevin Allen's financial background provides the most significant value to St. Johns County taxpayers. With voters having approved a half-penny sales tax renewal and a 1-mill property tax increase in November 2024 by a 68.21% margin, the community has demonstrated strong support for education funding while simultaneously creating high expectations for responsible stewardship of these resources.








Academic excellence represents the core value proposition that justifies St. Johns County's premium property values and attracts families to the community. The district's #2 ranking among Florida's 67 school districts and average 10/10 school ratings create a competitive advantage that must be protected and enhanced through strategic leadership and resource allocation.
Teacher recruitment and retention represent critical challenges that directly impact academic excellence and require sophisticated financial management to address effectively within budget constraints. The district's current teacher compensation initiatives, including supplements ranging from $4,500 to $8,888 based on experience, demonstrate community commitment to competitive salaries while highlighting the need for strategic financial planning to ensure sustainability.
School safety and security represent fundamental responsibilities that require strategic financial planning to ensure effective protection while avoiding wasteful spending on ineffective or redundant security measures. The district's safety and security investments, funded through sales tax revenue and operational budgets, must be evaluated based on their effectiveness in preventing incidents and creating safe learning environments.
