US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz, who two days ago released a critical report on the racial climate at Boston Latin School, said Wednesday that she is confident a series of reforms underway at the elite school will address concerns of harassment and discrimination for all students.

Serafyn, chief of the office’s Civil Rights Unit, which conducted the investigation.
