A state education official who helps coordinate a virtual on-line school says the program is so popular and in so much demand that all slots are now filled and no more applications are being accepted for now. However, Tina Sellers, special projects officer with what is called the Mississippi Virtual Public School, said that as soon as the program is ready to begin accepting more applicants, school districts throughout the state will be notified. She said that most courses offered online are advanced courses for advanced students, and only a few of the courses are ones that can be used toward credit for graduation.
