ADDRESS:  38 Willow Rd.

OCCUPATION:  Registered Nurse

OFFICE YOU SEEK:  Board of Health

If elected to the Board of Health I would re-evaluate the ARPA funding, and prioritize the needs in the community that have been neglected due to the pandemic. Identifying the barriers for residents who are trying to obtain tests is the first issue to address. Educating residents on how to obtain free covid tests through mass.gov would be more cost effective, and allow Sudbury to use the funds towards the mental health crisis. Increasing the opportunities, and properly advertising our hazardous waste days that have been absent for 2 years is also essential in re-prioritizing the needs of our town.

The pandemic has shown that our department is understaffed to meet the needs of residents during long periods of health and economic uncertainty. Hiring an additional social worker is a priority first step to support Sudbury residents who present with significant mental health and financial needs.

The DPH Shared Services Grant presents a unique opportunity to develop working relationships with our partner towns. Finalizing the details for this collaboration is a priority during the current decline in cases. A grant coordinator position will help facilitate the implementation and will allow our health director to meet other key department initiatives.

I am honored to be running for Goodnow Library Trustee. The first two issues I would tackle would be: 1) Making the library a more inclusive space. While the Goodnow has expanded what it offers patrons and removed barriers like overdue fines, it needs to go further to find obstacles to engagement. For example, we should simplify the application process for getting a library card. 2) Assessing the town archive of historical documents. Improving the current system with additional content and high-resolution images would allow researchers from near and far to tell more diverse stories about our community’s past.

Website and/or Facebook page, if any: www.alice4trustee.org and www.facebook.com/Alice-Levine-for-Goodman-Library-Trustee-101353189157358

I believe the Trustees need to better understand the Open Meeting Law in order to enhance transparency, and I would encourage the entire Board to become more knowledgeable in this area. I also believe that the Trustees need to reach out more to the community to better understand what the community wants from the library. I would create periodic public forums to get feedback from the public on what is working and what is not working at the library, and use that feedback for planning future programs and to adjust the vision the library has for its future.

My top two priorities are to work on the Strategic Plan and to increase collaboration with the community.

The Library is embarking on a new five year strategic plan. Through meetings and surveys of the trustees, the staff, and the community, I look forward to a plan which keeps the Goodnow Library a sustainable and resilient resource.

I also hope to continue Goodnow’s trajectory of increased community outreach. I will work to welcome and include all groups who want to support the library, and hope that the library can develop a centralized system for all local organizations to find volunteers.

As a new member, I would start by listening, questioning, and reading. Goodnow Library already has staff, a budget, supporters, and plans, and certainly has problems and opportunities that I don’t yet know about; only with more knowledge can I help to decide what is most important.

Second, I would work to re-unite and grow the whole library community. I believe that the Friends and the Foundation both work to make the library better, and that we can cooperate and compromise so that they, and all of their supporters, can help make Goodnow better.

OFFICE YOU SEEK: Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District School Committee

Website and/or Facebook page, if any: www.matthewsforls.com


We have many priorities, but there are two that need attention first. These are the ones which remain to be done this year: budget and leadership evaluation.
Our budget has been approved but we need the public’s support for the budget and our capital requests at the 2022 Annual Town Meeting. The evaluation of our Superintendent/Principal was not done in the last two years and must be completed this year. Assessing and planning for the post-pandemic environment, looking at the regional agreement, and planning the next academic year are priorities which will fall into line after these two are completed.

Students are my highest priority, and we need to address the ongoing impacts of the pandemic on the students. Student achievement encompasses a child’s social emotional and academic wellbeing. School should be, and CAN be, an energetic and engaging place for optimal learning. I will make data driven decisions, and be an advocate for all students to reach their greatest potential.

A strong and well-informed School Committee allows for an educated and engaged community. I will also advocate for the Committee to begin adhering to best practices, including professional development and Committee meeting materials being shared with the public.

Two issues I would first address as the newest Select Board member:

1. Capital Planning crisis- my unmet request at FinCom (5 years) to prioritize a town-wide Facilities/Space Needs Assessment. With multiple building and renovation projects active and proposed we must get smarter in addressing future space needs to more efficiently invest our capital funding.

2. Financial and Operational Forecasting- working with Town Staff to devising a process that better aligns our budgeting with key personnel and expense demands across the three cost centers to ensure we deliver on key project Articles voted at Town Meeting and other municipal requirements.
