Volunteers in the School and CORI Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 38R requires school districts to obtain Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) on all volunteers. Volunteers include, but are not limited to, individuals who serve as chaperones on field trips and/or during field day activities, assist in classrooms and/or with such programs as the elementary school banking program, and/or participate in any capacity in various school-related programs, events, etc.
CORI applications may be obtained at any district office or on-line at the district website (www.bmrsd.net). Regulations require that CORI applications be returned to the office in person by the applicant. At that time the applicant must also produce a form of government issued photo identification (driver's license, etc.) which will be photocopied and attached to the individual's application. Completed applications will be forwarded to the Office of the Superintendent, and all information obtained will be treated confidentially. Once obtained, CORI approval is valid for a period of time not to exceed three years. CORI applications can take up to three weeks to process.
