One of what I would consider the best sources for chemical selection
in middle and high school science labs is called "Rehab the Bio Lab!"
The site has a large listing of what is acceptable and
what is not, the rationale, the role of the chemical hygiene officer,
etc. Check it out at: http://www.govlink.org/hazwaste/index.cfm

Another source of lab safety is the NSTA Journal, THE SCIENCE TEACHER.
Flinn Scientific also has a lot of safety monographs and other support
for high school labs.
The Hazardous Waste Division of King County Metro(Seattle) has been
very helpful with their Rehab the Lab program that has removed several
tons of old, dangerous chemicals and reduced school inventories to a
managable size in a large number of schools.
The Washington Science Teachers Association has supported lab safety
training for several years
THE LAB SAFETY WORKSHOP is another good source of aid for high schools.

The EPA also has a program "Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign
(SC3)": http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/partnerships/sc3/index.htm
"From elementary school maintenance closets to high school chemistry
labs, schools use a variety of chemicals. When they are mismanaged,
these chemicals can put students and school personnel at risk from
spills, fires, and other accidental exposures. Chemical accidents
disrupt school schedules and can cost thousands of dollars to repair.
The Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3) aims to ensure that all
schools are free from hazards associated with mismanaged chemicals.
SC3 gives K-12 schools information and tools to responsibly manage
chemicals. By using the tools provided on this site and pulling
together a team with a variety of perspectives, expertise, and
resources you can develop a successful chemical management program.
Schools, parents, and local organizations can partner to create a
chemical management program that meets the unique needs of their
schools."
