Sixty-seven students at Superior’s Eldorado K-8 School will receive zeros on the writing portion of this year’s CSAP test after an eighth-grade teacher broke the rules by having students prepare using topics copied from a previous year’s test.

District officials said they learned the teacher had used prohibited practice materials after a parent called the principal with concerns.
