What additional security measures are in place for controlled substances at Whitney Academy?

Controlled substances require stringent security measures to prevent misuse, theft, or unauthorized access. Keeping them under double lock provides an effective means of safeguarding these substances. This procedure typically involves storing the controlled substances in a secure cabinet or safe, which is then locked, with a second lock added for enhanced security. This method ensures that only authorized personnel, who have access to both keys or combinations, can access the substances, minimizing the risk of diversion or accidental exposure.

The other methods mentioned do not provide adequate security. Storing controlled substances in plain sight compromises safety, while giving them to students for safekeeping poses serious risks of mismanagement and abuse. Hiding them away in a closet could offer some level of concealment but does not guarantee protection or restrict access to unauthorized individuals. Hence, the dual-lock system is the most effective and responsible way to manage controlled substances in an educational setting.
