Good question about whether the dict is in scope.
I import the vars this way at the top of the playbook:
vars_files:
- vars/studentdict.yml
- vars/staffdict.yml
I run the playbook with become: yes. I verified that root and the local
ansible user can read the dict.
I wonder if dashes in my date fields are breaking it. I am testing quoting
those entries right now.
