About this file

This is a CORI Compliance Certification form (CM-15A) issued by the City of Boston in May 2025 for vendors seeking to enter into contracts with the Boston Public Schools, part of the City of Boston's Awarding Authority. The form establishes the City's requirements under City of Boston Code, Chapter 4, section 7, which mandates that vendors maintain fair policies for screening applicants with criminal backgrounds through the CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) system. Vendors must certify their compliance by selecting one of three options: performing no CORI checks on any applicants, performing CORI checks that conform to standards outlined in Form CM-15B, or performing CORI checks under a non-conforming policy. The certification requires the signature of an authorized representative under penalties of perjury, affirming the vendor's adherence to applicable City regulations.

Vendors who select the third option—indicating a CORI policy that does not conform to CM-15B standards—are prohibited from entering into City contracts unless the awarding authority grants a waiver under exigent circumstances on a contract-by-contract basis. Any such waiver requires completion of Form CM-15C by the awarding authority. All vendors must complete the certification form and affix a signature prior to bid submission. The form was approved as to form by Corporation Counsel in April 2025 and applies to the pending Boston Public Schools contract opportunity for postsecondary enrollment data involving active rosters of BPS graduates.
