Tucker Elementary (grades K-6), 48.5% were Caucasian, 50.0% were hispanic, 1.5% African American and 0% Native American. In 2005-06, of the identified special education students enrolled at S. C. Tucker Elementary (grades K-6), 50.0% were Caucasian, 46.7% were hispanic, 1.7% African American and 1.7% Native American.
                    2. In 2007-08 the total enrollment breakdown of the combined student population at S. C. Tucker Elementary (grades K-5) was 38% caucasian, 57% hispanic, 2% African American and 3% Asian Pacific. In 2006-07, the total enrollment breakdown of the combined student population at S. C.

                    GoalS.C. Tucker Elementary School will reduce the relative proportion of caucasian students to hispanic students receiving special education services to within one standard deviation of the state average by the end of the 2008-2009 school year.
                    BenchmarkIn 2007-2008, there were 38% caucasians in the combined population of the Danville School District. The special education Caucasian population was 46.4%. S.C. Tucker Elementary School will reduce the relative proportion of caucasian students to the hispanic students receiving special education services to within one standard deviation of the state average by the end of the 2008-2009 school year.
                    Intervention: Strategies that differentiate instruction and/or structured behavior interventions will be implemented on a consistent basis prior to referral for special education assessment and placement.
