Cardona is the current CT education Commissioner––he was appointed to this position last summer and oversees K-12 schools.
He was the youngest principal in the state, then began working in the district focused on performance and evaluation work. https://www.courant.com/politics/hc-pol-who-is-miguel-cardona-20201222-t3ok4evvobfhrgwyesjql67vny-story.html
