Connecticut Chief of Schools Miguel Cardona is expected to head south to Washington, D.C. to serve in President-elect Joe Biden’s Cabinet as Education Secretary in a meteoric two-year rise to national prominence.
The appointment of Cardona, a lifelong resident of Meriden, could be officially announced as soon as sometime on Tuesday, Dec. 22.
The Washington Post first reported last week that Cardona, Lily Eskelsen Garcia, who was president of the National Education Association for six years, and Leslie T. Fenwick, the dean emeritus of the Howard University School of Education and an education policy professor, were the front-runners for the position, though it now appears Cardona won out.
