Hasn't gotten any negative feedback on it. ii. Chart at end of this doc shows courses that have been added to POS, hoping to address equity of access and other things.

They're working on expanding things beyond AP, and looking for ways to broaden the student experience. Andrew says these are tectonic changes that are really exciting. iii.

Will be beholden to size requirements, will see if there are any other requirements (prob not a limitation at Gillette; possibility to Marriott, maybe limited to just classmates, but will have to see.)
