The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) gave the Winston School their 2019 annual determination under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The Winston R-6 School District has been placed in the category “Meets Requirements of Part B of the IDEA.” This is considered a good reflection on the dedication of the school personnel who support students with disabilities.
