In a post-strike world, many L.A. parents are ready for unity and solutions. Last weekend, they had a chance to pursue both during the One City, All Kids summit put on by [Great Public Schools Now](http://www.greatpublicschoolsnow.org), a nonprofit organization committed to increasing the number of quality public schools in high need neighborhoods.  ![GPSN5](https://info.ccsa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/GPSN5.jpg?width=600&name=GPSN5.jpg) The city-wide collaboration on February 9 attracted over 1,000 parents, including many first-time advocates who were eager to share their experiences in education and learn about topics where they can find common ground. The primary goal of the summit was to create a more powerful network of advocates and parents working together to build a stronger public schools system.  ![GPSN3](https://info.ccsa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/GPSN3.jpg?width=600&name=GPSN3.jpg) The summit also served as a candidate forum for the 10 remaining individuals competing in the [L.A. Unified Board District 5 race](https://info.ccsa.org/blog/7-things-to-know-about-the-lausd-board-district-5-race-1).  ![GPSN2](https://info.ccsa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/GPSN2.jpg?width=600&name=GPSN2.jpg) Parents in attendance that we spoke with loved having the opportunity to network with other families who share their desire for all kids, from all backgrounds, to have a great public education. ![GPSN1](https://info.ccsa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/GPSN1.jpg?width=600&name=GPSN1.jpg) **Interested in attending future events like the One City, All Kids summit?
