The superintendent of Boston Public Schools spoke out on Wednesday about troubling allegations against Boston Latin.
Earlier this year, two students reported what they called "systematic racism" at the school.
They said they told the headmaster about several incidents, but nothing was done.
The school department then launched an investigation.
The superintendent said looking into the allegations is deeply personal for him.
"We are working closely with the school, making sure there is additional training," Superintendent Tommy Change said. "That there is a race dialogue that they’re initiating. And I actually am continuing to listen, specifically yesterday I listened to a group of parents. There will be more things that need to happen."
A mother said her daughter is a victim of racism at the school met with the headmaster today and said more needs to be done.
"It has to stop," Rosalind Wornum said. "And my other question to her is if these students, what do you do with these students who are doing this? Are you addressing these issues? Even with teachers or student to student, but even with the teachers it has to be addressed and it has to be ended because it affects all of our children."
Despite the controversy, the superintendent added he does not think the school’s headmaster should lose her job.
