Connecticut education commissioner Miguel Cardona is reportedly a finalist to become U.S. secretary of education in President-elect Joe Biden’s new administration.
A Washington Post report on Wednesday named Cardona, as one of two top candidates for the job being vacated by Betsy DeVos. The other name mentioned was Leslie T. Fenwick, dean emeritus of the Howard University School of Education.
It is unclear when a decision will be announced.
Like Ansonia Schools Superintendent Joseph DiBacco, Cardona was born in Meriden.
