Currently responsible for PSA 205 and serving the Second District as a whole, Tony is out on our streets every day helping to make our neighborhood safe. He is a regular at our open FCCA meetings, and also always offers that people can come on a ride-along with him — why not reach out to him for a four-hour firsthand look into what happens in and around the FCCA boundaries.

W3EdNet is made up of Parent-Teacher Organizations, Local School Advisory Teams, school staff, and other interested community members from schools in the Wilson High School feeder patterns. The W3EdNet seeks to build ties among their school communities, share information among school leaders, and promote a better public school system for all Washingtonians.
- Michael Papa (michael_papa@nps.gov). Michael is a direct contact at National Park Service (NPS) whom we can contact to report issues similar to what we can report via 311, but where the issue is on NPS-managed land rather than land managed by DC. You can also ring NPS at 202-895-6069.
