\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nAfter long thought and consideration, the board of regents at SMIS has decided to change its format from an international school to an intergalactic school. \u201cWe just felt that we were possibly limiting not only the students we could bring in, but the potential of the current students,\u201d said regent\u2019s member Scott Andreasen. \u201cWe want it to be very clear that we are not only the most progressive school in Stapleton, but in all of Denver, and possibly the world.\u201d\n\nOverall, parents are excited about the new possibilities for their children. \u201cI try to teach my kids that they can do anything,\u201d says parent Sarah Lilly. \u201cWith the idea of being able to learn about space, and potentially even living in space, I feel I am giving my kids opportunities other parents are not. That makes me a better parent.\u201d\nThere are some concerns over going intergalactic, however. \u201cI am absolutely all for diversity,\u201d says parent Kelli Crawford. \u201cI mean, I have no problem with my kids learning Spanish. But what if a Wookie child enrolls at the new intergalactic school? The language barrier is really going to slow the classes down. We just don\u2019t have the money right now to have a C3PO in every classroom to translate.\u201d\nPrincipal Vogel believes the change is for the better. \u201cA lot of schools are just too short-sighted,\u201d says Vogel. \u201cThis move shows that we are always looking ahead, and looking for the best students to be in the seats of our classrooms, regardless of what planet or solar system they are from.\u201d\nAdditionally, the school could also benefit from the funding parents from other planets may provide through technology or metals earth does not currently have, giving SMIS a huge leg up in the Stapleton funds race for the schools. Bill Roberts and Westerly Creek have yet to respond to this new, bold move by Swigert-McAuliffe Intergalactic School.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
