The most recent step, submitting plans to the MDAH, is necessary because MDAH staff must “review the plans and specifications for the move to ensure that they comply with PHOTOS: BILLY SCHUERMAN/ THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN the United States Secretary of SAA’s welcome week ends today, leaving 29 weeks of class in the Interior’s Standards for the the academic year.
