On February 2, 2012, The Full-service Schools Roundtable and Boston Public Schools jointly released Schools at the Hub: Community Partnerships in the Boston Public Schools, the first report of its kind, which presents the results of a survey administered to all schools at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. With 93% of schools responding, the report provides extensive baseline data about the types and extent of partnerships providing supports to students and families. The report also cites some unevenness in partnerships across schools and calls for greater district involvement to ensure equity and accountability.

The Full-service Schools Roundtable and Boston After School & Beyond together commissioned Community Matters and The Finance Project to examine the ways in which school-connected services are funded in Boston. This report, "Investing in Student Success: Financing School-Connected Initiatives in Boston" (December 2007), reviews federal, state, and local funding patterns and presents recommendations for how Boston might address the challenges of sustainability.
