At the end of the 2025 school year, Cabral was let go due to budget cuts.

Therefore, Cabral, being the newest teacher in the history department, was let go. He left to continue teaching U.S. History at Bernardo Heights Middle School.

Column: School testing and college admission, part 2
– In my last column, I attempted to give some historical context to the recent trend to deemphasize standardized testing in schools. As I shared, I fear the OVERemphasis on test scores for schools, such as with the “API” Academic Performance Index in California and “No Child Left Behind” nationally, was well-intentioned, but like so many school reforms, it was unrealistic and ultimately doomed to failure and a backlash overall against testing.
