A real educator: CT schools chief Miguel Cardona s rapid rise to Biden cabinet nominee FacebookTwitterEmail It turned heads when Miguel Cardona became Connecticut’s commissioner of education at the age of 44. Now at 45, he is President-elect Joe Biden’s pick to become the nation’s 12th U.S. secretary of education. Cardona’s first assignment will likely be to help carry out Biden’s mission to reopen schools post-pandemic, a job the one-time fourth-grade Meriden public school teacher has been working at in Connecticut since March. “In Miguel Cardona, America will have an experienced and dedicated public school teacher leading the way at the Department of Education,” Biden said in prepared remarks, “ensuring that every student is equipped to thrive in the economy of the future, that every educator has the resources they need to do their jobs with dignity and success, and that every school is on track to reopen safely.”
