Fadare Oluniyi: You do not say where this school is located; this is a factor in determining "regulatory restrictions". I agree with Dr. Young; this is a long "laundry list" of information you have requested; a hazardous materials consultant would be best able to answer your questions due to the time requirements. That said, you have several potentially explosive chemicals on your list and I would recommend the chemicals be well secured.
