In order to ensure the highest standards for safety and accountability while transporting students, Hillcrest Educational Centers, Inc. publishes the HEC Drivers List. Requirements for inclusion on this list include:
• Yearly License abstract review
• Yearly CORI

All staff wishing to transport HEC students in an HEC vehicle must be on the HEC Drivers list. Application for inclusion is mandatory for all new hires that currently possess a valid (Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut etc.) drivers license. The HEC driving privilege is valid for one year from the date of acceptance. The initial CORI, Driver’s Record Review and Physical are accomplished through normal channels during the hiring process. After a successful review of the driver’s historical abstract by the Human Resources Department, a staff members name will be placed on the list.

HEC has adopted the following recommendations from our insurance company for exclusion from the certified driver’s list:

1. Major Incident within the previous 3 years
2. 3 Minor Incidents within the previous 3 years
3. Any set of circumstances, combination of incidents or other matters warranting exclusion from the list.

Current staff members successfully completing the abstract review requirements are placed on the list pending positive review of their CORI check. Upon receipt of the CORI, an employee may be removed from the certified list, depending on the CORI results. Since no personal time or fees will be demanded of employees to participate in this process, no reimbursement for obtaining a place on the list will be offered.
