The Turlock Unified School District will hold its first public Board of Trustees meeting since a holiday break at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 7, in the District Professional Development Center at 1100 Cahill Ave.

In an action item, the board will vote to adopt a resolution to approve TUSD Heart Day. From Jan. 19 to Feb. 12 of this year schools will raise funds through coin jar donations, wrist band sales and t-shirt sales of which every $800 raised will be used to send a child with heart disease to Camp Taylor, a summer camp for children with heart disease.

On the consent calendar the board will vote to approve several donations including a Civil War and World War II historical book collection donation from Mark de la Motte in an amount valued at $500 to the Turlock High School Social Studies Department, a $1,000 donation from David Hankal Farming to the Turlock High School Girls' Golf team, and a 3D printer kit and supplies at a donor appraised value of $1,005 from Mr. Robert C.
