CRIMINAL OFFENDER RECORD INFORMATION (CORI)
Under Massachusetts law, all public schools must require a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) from employees and volunteers who have direct contact with students. In order to volunteer in the schools, a current CORI form must be on file (CORI checks are good for three years). You can complete a CORI form at any of the schools main office or the Superintendent’s office during office hours. Forms must be returned to school office in person and office personnel will take a copy of your license or other photo ID before submitting your CORI form for approval. Only one completed form is needed for all Hopkinton public schools. More information is available on the district website http://www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us/.
