    Requirements

    . We'll choose Qualifications. - Upon Conditional Offer of Employment: list of items: DOJ and FBI Criminal Background Check, TB Test within last 60 days, Complete district Mandated Reporter training, Sexual Harassment, etc., Must obtain and maintain a First Aid/CPR Certificate (In-Person Training ONLY), Pre-Employment Physical Evaluation conducted through the District (Minimum 50 pounds).

That could be under Requirements or Skills. We'll put under Requirements. - Comments and Other Information: nondiscrimination statement etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we discard that. - Application Deadline: September 22, 2026. Work Months: 9.5. Hours: 5.75 hours per day, 5 days a week. Salary: $21.33 to $25.97 per hour. We have Pay and Schedule info. Pay: Salary range. Schedule: Work Months: 9.5 (maybe months per year?), Hours: 5.75 hours per day, 5 days a week. So we can create Pay section with that salary range. Schedule section with work months and hours. Benefits: Not mentioned. So we omit Benefits section. Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer but we should not invent. So omit Skills. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

    for each heading. Use

    for prose,

    • for lists. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specifics. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. The job title is Paraeducator Moderate/Severe. We'll not use that as heading. We need to drop minor metadata like Job ID/requisition numbers (none). Application deadline maybe we could include in Schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could be a short

      under maybe "Important Dates"? But we are only allowed to use the specified headings. The instruction: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., but we should only use those headings if we have content. We could also include other headings? It says use those for section headings (e.g.) but not strictly limited? It says "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings like "Application Deadline". Could we fold that into Schedule? Possibly as a note: "Application Deadline: September 22, 2026". Could be a short

      under Schedule? But schedule is about work months and hours. Might be okay to add a

      under Schedule with deadline. However they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we could add a short paragraph under Schedule about deadline. Or we could add a separate section like "Important Dates" but that's not in the list; better to incorporate into Schedule or maybe under About the role? Probably better to add a

      under Schedule: "Application Deadline: September 22, 2026". That seems okay. Work Months: 9.5 (maybe months per year). Hours: 5.75 hours per day, 5 days a week. We'll output:
