2026-27 SPED Instructional Assistant/Special Needs - Paradise Valley HS

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). So we need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: - Location: Paradise Valley High School - 9 months, 6.75 hours/day - Grade 16, $16.99/hour - Non-Interim Position - Dates: Immediate - 05/27/2027 - Benefits: ASRS, Paid Sick/Personal Time, Medical and optional Dental/Vision - Requirement: HS Diploma or GED - Purpose Statement (paragraph) - Essential Functions (list of duties) - Other Functions (Performs other related duties as assigned) - Job Requirements: Minimum Qualifications Skills, Knowledge And Abilities (with subparts: SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, ABILITY) - Responsibility (maybe a section) - Work Environment (physical demands, sitting/walking/standing, etc.) - Experience: Job related experience is desired - Education: High school diploma or equivalent - Equivalency Required Testing N/A - Certificates and Licenses: CPR Certificate, First Aid Certificate, Continuing Educ./Training QBS Certificate, Maintains Certificates and/or Licenses - Clearances: Criminal Background Clearance, Valid Arizona DPS Level I IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card - FLSA Status - Non Exempt - EEO statement (to remove) - etc. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe purpose statement + location etc). Responsibilities (essential functions + other functions). Requirements (minimum qualifications, skills, knowledge, ability). Qualifications (maybe education, experience, certificates). Skills (maybe separate but we can combine). Benefits (given). Pay (hourly rate). Schedule (9 months, 6.75 hours/day). Also maybe Work Environment as its own section? Not in list but we could put under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like Working Conditions but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying those are examples; we could add others if needed but better to stick to those. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include Work Environment under Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like Working Conditions not listed; but we could incorporate into Responsibilities or Requirements. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce sections:

About the role

with paragraph containing location, schedule, dates, maybe purpose statement.

Responsibilities

with

• list of essential functions and other functions.

  Requirements

  with
  • for skills, knowledge, ability, maybe also experience, education, certificates, clearances.

    Qualifications

    maybe for education, experience, certificates? But we already have Requirements covering many. Could split: Requirements for skills/knowledge/ability; Qualifications for education, experience, certificates, clearances. Benefits separate. Pay: $16.99/hour. Schedule: 9 months, 6.75 hours/day. Benefits: ASRS, Paid Sick/Personal Time, Medical and optional Dental/Vision. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, FLSA status maybe keep? It's substantive? Could be included under About the role or Requirements? It's not in list but we could keep as a short paragraph under About the role maybe. But it's not required; we could drop as it's not essential? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". FLSA status is substantive. So we should keep it. Where to put? Could be under About the role or Requirements. I'd put under About the role as a short sentence. Also "Non-Interim Position" maybe include. Also "Grade 16" maybe include. We need to avoid duplication: The purpose statement appears; we should include it. Let's craft. First, About the role: Paragraph: Location: Paradise Valley High School. Position: Instructional Assistant/Special Needs, 9 months, 6.75 hours/day, Grade 16, $16.99/hour, Non-Interim Position, Dates: Immediate - 05/27/2027. FLSA Status: Non Exempt. Purpose Statement: [the purpose statement paragraph]. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading; but we can mention it in paragraph. Now Responsibilities: list essential functions (many). Also "Other Functions: Performs other related duties as assigned for the purpose of ensuring the efficient and effective functioning of the work unit." We'll combine into
    • items. We need to be careful not to include duplicated lines. The essential functions list includes many items; we will copy them as is. Now Requirements: maybe separate into Skills, Knowledge, Ability as subheadings? But we only allowed

      for sections; we could have subheadings

      ? Not specified but we could still use

      inside? The instruction only says use

      for section headings (e.g...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we could just use

      • and maybe bold text inside? But we need to preserve structure. Could use inside
      • . That's okay. We'll create a
        with items grouping: Skills: ...; Knowledge: ...; Ability: ...; Experience: Job related experience is desired; Education: High school diploma or equivalent; Certificates and Licenses: CPR Certificate, First Aid Certificate, Continuing Educ./Training QBS Certificate, Maintains Certificates and/or Licenses; Clearances: Criminal Background Clearance, Valid Arizona DPS Level I IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card. We could also include "Equivalency Required Testing N/A" but that's basically N/A; we should not include filler like N/A. So drop. Now Qualifications: maybe we could combine with Requirements; but we need a Qualifications section per instruction. We could put education, experience, certificates, clearances under Qualifications, and skills/knowledge/ability under Requirements. That seems logical. Thus:

        Requirements

        with
        • for Skills, Knowledge, Ability.

          Qualifications

          with
          • for Experience, Education, Certificates and Licenses, Clearances. Now Benefits:

            Benefits

            with
            • ASRS, Paid Sick/Personal Time, Medical and optional Dental/Vision. Pay:

              Pay

              with

              $16.99/hour

              . Schedule:

              Schedule

              with

              9 months, 6.75 hours/day

              . We also have "Grade 16" maybe include in About the role. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Remove. Now produce HTML. Let's draft. We need to escape any HTML special characters? The text includes parentheses, etc. It's fine. We'll produce:
