Widow of Alvin principal who died of COVID rejects school named for him, cites 'lack of respect' when he was alive

Amy Castro, widow of Alvin Junior High School principal LeRoy Castro, who died of COVID in November 2020, holds a photo of her husband in Alvin, Texas.The wife of an Alvin ISD principal who died from COVID-19 told the district this week his family does not want her late husband’s name on a new middle school because she said the school system “did not honor him in life.”

“Before being hospitalized on Oct. 12, , LeRoy believed his life insurance was in place because premiums had been deducted from three paychecks by then,” Mary Castro said during public comment at Tuesday’s board meeting. “Sadly, he was wrong.” “The harm that the district has caused my family and the lack of respect shown to my husband is why we don’t want his name affiliated with the district,” she said.The district did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday. Area districts typically closed on Fridays for a period after the school year ends.
