OPINION
COHILL, Senior District Judge.
This case comes before us on motions filed by defendants Woodland Hills School District (“WHSD” or “the District”) and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, seeking a declaration of unitary status and the end of judicial supervision of the District’s schools. Plaintiffs, representing a class of children and parents in the District, oppose these motions. For the reasons set forth below, we will grant defendants’ motions in part and deny them in part, and thus commensurately curtail our oversight of the District’s schools.
