Hello, my name is Kayla Castillo, and I am the Campus Compliance Coordinator at Meadows Elementary. In my role, I support students, families, and staff with Special Education and Section 504 services, and I also serve as the State Testing Coordinator for our campus.

My background includes extensive experience as a special education teacher across various age groups, including Resource, Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), and the equivalent of Succeeding in Academic and Independent Living Skills (SAILS) program in Alvin ISD.

Inspired by my sister, who uses cochlear implants to hear despite being born deaf, I am profoundly committed to supporting diverse learning needs. My perspective is enriched by my experiences as an educator, parent, and family member, which equips me to effectively support children with multifaceted approach.

Complete and Coordinate Paperwork: Prepare, organize, and manage all necessary documentation related to ARD and Section 504 meetings.
