New Service Pathway for the 2023-24 School Year. Seattle Public Schools (SPS) is committed to serving all students by following their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The district aims to serve all students with disabilities first as general education students. SPS is working to make sure students have access to more inclusive programs and support. Next school year, SPS is making a change to two special education service pathways. Access and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) will combine to become Extended Resource Service Pathway.
