CORI Form
Massachusetts law requires schools to conduct Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) checks on current and prospective employees and volunteers.
All Brackett volunteers must fill out a CORI form and return it to the Brackett front office before volunteering. A copy of your driver’s license is needed (the office can copy it for you when you turn in the form). Hard copies of the form are available at the office and a digital copy can be found here.
CORI checks are valid for three years.
