Before students pick up their No. 2 pencils and open their test booklets, administrators have sorted, counted and packaged thousands of pages of test material.

Here are some statistics from local districts:

-- Academy School District 20 receives about 13 pallets of CSAP testing materials.

-- Widefield School District 3 receives 194 boxes of testing materials, then repacks the tests into roughly 300 boxes that are shipped back to CTB-McGraw Hill, the testing company that produces the CSAP materials. Tests to be scored are separated from materials that don’t need to be scored.

-- Panorama Middle School, in Harrison School District 2, receives roughly 22 boxes of testing materials. The school has the largest number of district students taking the test.

-- Colorado Springs School District 11, the area’s largest district, receives roughly 30 boxes of materials on each of its 18 to 20 pallets.
