Prior to becoming U. S. Secretary of Education, Secretary Cardona served as the Commissioner of Education in Connecticut where he led safe school reopening efforts by providing school districts with a balance of guidance, local autonomy, and the oversight needed to ensure equitable and meaningful educational opportunities for students, at the same time, prioritizing public health mitigation measures.
Secretary Cardona's approach to leadership in Connecticut focused on partnerships within his Education Department, between state agencies, and with local boards, educator unions, school administrator associations, child advocates, and most importantly, students and families. He attributes his success in Connecticut, in part, to those strong partnerships.
Secretary Cardona has over two decades of experience as a public-school educator from Meriden, Connecticut, the same school system he attended as a child. He began his career as an elementary school teacher and went on to serve as an elementary school principal, where he led a school with outstanding programming for three to five-year-old students; students with developmental delays, students with autism and other sensory needs, and students enrolled in the district's bilingual education program. Following that role, Secretary Cardona led performance and evaluation efforts for the Meriden Public Schools and became assistant superintendent for teaching and learning.
He is the recipient of the 2012 National Distinguished Principal Award for the State of Connecticut and the Outstanding Administrator Award from University of Connecticut's Neag School of Education.
Secretary Cardona earned a bachelor's degree from Central Connecticut State University, a master's degree, two additional advanced leadership certifications, and a doctoral degree from the University of Connecticut. His greatest source of pride is his family. Secretary Cardona and his beautiful wife Marissa, also an educator, are the proud parents of two children.

McMahon was appointed to the State Board of Education by Governor Jodi Rell in January 2009.[61][76]
She went through a confirmation process in the Connecticut State Assembly where she was questioned on her record as CEO of WWE.[68]The State Senate approved her nomination by a vote of 34–1 and the House by 96–45 with some opponents expressing concerns that the nature of her WWE activities would send the wrong message. State representative Bruce Morris claimed she lacked "depth of knowledge regarding education". However, state representative John Hetherington said it "would be good to have someone outside the establishment on the board".[77][78]
On April 1, 2010, McMahon resigned from the State Board of Education, because state law does not allow board members to solicit campaign contributions.[79]
