Doing a search for all construction documents that I have at my Scribd.com page (link contains a collection of documents on this topic) I found the following letter, from the Gallon administration, that parents and Cook school stakeholders might want to have for their own records if they want to advocate for their school building' repairs and needs. The letter raises the question about the real need of school buildings, in this case, Cook School's v. Woodland's. The letter clearly states that Cook school has a more urgent need for upgrades than Woodland.
How things have changed, or improved, for Cook school from the date this letter was sent to the State, March 4, 2009 to today is something Cook parents and community stakeholders might want to ask to the school board and the current administration. You might also want to call the state directly to get more information and/or express your concerns, start at the Office of Fiscal Policy and Planning at 609 292-7131 and ask to speak with Ms. Patricia Scott, if her office is not the one in charge of this matter then ask to be transferred to the right office. If you don't advocate for your own neighborhood school, then who will?
Gallon's Letter to SDA Re Cook

Maria,
Please understand Cook parents have and continue to keep the interim superintendent and the Board of Education abreast of the building conditions. It is uncomprehendible as to why the school keeps getting pushed aside. At first the plan was to get a new building. Once that idea elapsed work orders were sent for repairs. Recently a meeting was held with the interim regarding these issues. Would be nice to know why Cook was pushed again to the side.
