Biden Set to Nominate Cardona as Education Secretary

“President-elect Joe Biden is poised to nominate Connecticut education commissioner Miguel Cardona as his education secretary, a decision that could be one of the final Cabinet selections before Christmas,” CNN reports.

“Biden has set a goal of reopening most schools within the first 100 days of taking office, a position that has touched off controversy with some teachers’ unions. Cardona has been a leading proponent of sending children back to school, saying too many students are falling behind during virtual learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.”
