Welcome to the Full-service Schools Roundtable!

The Full-service Schools Roundtable is working to advance the healthy development and academic success of students through integrated school-community partnerships. 

Building on the work of several successful initiatives, the Roundtable is working to bring the full-service school model to scale in Boston and throughout Massachusetts. To achieve this goal, we sponsor convenings that highlight the benefits of full-service schools; commission and release research and policy reports; and promote policies that support the development of full-service schools throughout our city and Commonwealth.
