Summary
The Los Alamitos Unified School District introduced four administrators — early learning coordinator Nadia Williams, Oak Middle School principal Robert Castillo, director of facilities Edwin Munguia, and director of student services Evelyn Garcia — each offering brief remarks on priorities for students and operations.
The Los Alamitos Unified School District opened its meeting by introducing four new or newly expanded administrative appointments.
Superintendent (speaker 3) introduced Nadia Williams as the district’s new early learning coordinator, noting Williams’s prior role as assistant principal at Los Alamitos Elementary and more than 20 years in education. Williams said she was "honored" and will focus on building joyful learning environments for preschool through transitional kindergarten students.
Robert Castillo was presented as incoming principal of Oak Middle School. The superintendent cited Castillo’s 25 years of experience and recognition at prior schools; Castillo, who said he is completing a doctorate in educational leadership, pledged to sustain Oak’s high standards starting in July.
Edwin Munguia, who began roughly a month earlier, was introduced as director of facilities, maintenance, operations and transportation. Superintendent remarks highlighted Munguia’s 17 years of construction-management experience and his role on recent district projects including the high school STEM building and a new gymnasium. Munguia emphasized operational reliability, safe learning spaces and support for staff.
Evelyn Garcia was introduced as director of student services and personnel. The superintendent noted Garcia’s site leadership experience and eight years on the district’s negotiations team; Garcia told the board she looks forward to continuing support for students and staff.
Board members welcomed each appointee and affirmed support for their leadership roles. The introductions were followed by a brief logistics announcement that the usual photo recess had been completed earlier rather than during the meeting.
