Trustees discussed questions around scenarios and how the funding gap might be overcome. The board also discussed legislative items that may positively affect PCM's revenue, as well as other charters, if they pass. It is anticipated we will hear about these decisions at the end of April.
The board did not feel that a vote was necessary.
Scenario 2 (Management Recommended) was reasoned to be the most logical. The boards timeline and check-ins will align to this scenario.
