The Easton School Committee accepted with regret the retirements of two long‑serving educators: Betty Munuskin, an art teacher who began working in Easton in 2004 and was a full‑time teacher since 2009, and Kathleen Tracy, a physical‑education teacher at Easton Middle School whose service dates to the early 1990s.
