CORI INFORMATION and UPDATES
CORI information can be found in our Guide for School-Community Partnerships, inside the Guide you will find a link to the CORI Form, as well as instructions. Due to COVID-19, ID verification is no longer in person. When you submit your forms, please choose a school you have a relationship with. The staffer at the school who verifies CORI forms will contact you to confirm the information on the ID is correct, and the ID matches the person. This process may take between 7 to 10 days.
