Ray Long CCFT statement after 2-2 vote on the $485,000 Brookwood proposal
A September 28, 2022 message from CCFT President Ray Long describes the Board's 2-2 vote rejecting an up-to-$485,000 contract to study workforce housing and district real-estate holdings and sets out the union leadership's stated priorities and objections.

Long praises Board members Steve Levin and Summer McBride for opposing the proposal and argues that a major decision six weeks before an election should not be made by a four-member Board without stronger stakeholder input and buy-in.
He says CCFT supports exploring new revenue streams and argues that the City of Culver City should contribute more to the district, citing Santa Monica as a comparison. He also says the district's real estate might eventually play a role in affordable housing but criticizes the proposal as having been framed around workforce housing.
Long identifies aging facilities, competitive wages, smaller class sizes and increased benefits as more immediate priorities for CCUSD employees. These are Long's stated views in a CCFT communication, not independent CCR findings about the merits of the proposal.
