We need

We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have Pay (min/max salary) and Schedule (work hours, contract length). So we can include those.
We need to decide what goes where.
Let's extract content:
About the role: maybe first sentence: "To assist the teacher of assigned professional in the daily activities of the classroom; assist students with lesson assignments and homework assignments and assist teachers with maintaining discipline in the classroom and assist with filing and various clerical duties." Also "Supervision Received and Exercised: Receives general supervision from assigned higher level staff." Could be part of About.
Responsibilities: Essential Function Statements list (multiple bullet points). Also Marginal Functions maybe part of responsibilities.
Requirements: Knowledge of list (knowledge requirements). Ability To Perform list (abilities). Could be combined as Requirements.
Qualifications: Experience And Training Guidelines (experience, education, licensure). Also maybe "All Applicants must upload a copy of your High School Diploma or equivalency..." and "All Applicants must also upload copies of ALL college transcripts to verify hours." That's more about application requirements, but could be part of Qualifications or separate. However we should not include application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. Those are about uploading documents; that's application instruction. So we should drop those lines. Yes, we must remove application instructions. So drop those two lines.
Working Conditions: On-site attendance mandatory; classroom and field environment; work with computers; maintains same work schedule as teachers, or on a schedule established by supervisor.
Physical Conditions: moderate to heavy lifting, standing/walking long periods.
We could incorporate Working Conditions and Physical Conditions into a "Working Conditions" section or maybe "Schedule" for schedule details.
Schedule: Work Hours: 7.5 hours/Day; Contract Length: 194 Days.
Pay: Minimum Salary: $27,045.00; Maximum Salary: $33,728.00.
