CORI stands for “Criminal Offender Records Information (CORI)” and is a background check mandated by the state for school employees and volunteers who may have direct and unmonitored contact with children. Anyone who wants to volunteer is required to have a current CORI form on file with Holliston Public Schools.

I’m CORI’ed with another organization, do I still need to complete a CORI for the school?

YES. Holliston Public Schools (HPS) must perform CORI checks on all individuals regardless of previous checks by other clubs and organizations.

How do I submit a CORI form?

1. Go IN PERSON to the District Central Office located on the High School campus (map below) and ask the receptionist to complete a CORI form. The process takes approximately 5 minutes.

   • IMPORTANT: Bring your valid, government-issued picture ID with you as the administrator will need to verify it when completing the CORI form.

2. You can also print the CORI, fill it out at home, then bring to District Central Office along with your ID.

NOTE: The District Central Office is open over the summer - it’s the perfect time to get your CORI done! As you’re facing the High School, the office is the smaller building on the right. The closest parking is located at the front right of the building (map below).

CORI forms can take up to two weeks to process, so get them in well before you intend to volunteer on-site! 

How long is my CORI valid for?

CORI checks are valid for three years. To check your CORI status, contact District Central Office at (508) 429-0654. 

Where is Central Office?

Facing Holliston High School (370 Hollis Street), the District Central Office entrance is located at the far right end of the building. Follow the curved walkway to the entrance at the corner. Visitor parking is available near the entrance. See image below:
