Hispanic-origin teacher will be Biden’s Secretary of Education – Telemundo Chicago

President-elect Joe Biden will name Connecticut Commissioner of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona as his choice to fill the role of Secretary of Education, according to NBC News.

Sources familiar with the president-elect’s decision told NBC News that no offer has yet been made to Commissioner Cardona.

Dr. Cardona was appointed Commissioner of Education by Governor Ned Lamont in August 2019. He has led Connecticut’s efforts to keep schools open during the COVID-19 pandemic while keeping students and educators safe.

A lifelong resident of Meriden, Cardona began his career as an elementary school teacher in the area and then served as a school principal for 10 years.

During the campaign, Biden said he would choose a secretary of education to teach in public schools.

It is not known when an official announcement about Cardona will be made.
