Assistant Director - ESE Information Management Systems

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - Position Summary: could be "About the role". Provide prose. - Minimum Qualifications: could be "Qualifications" or "Requirements". The posting includes many qualifications: master's degree, full approval for Supervisor of Special (maybe typo), experience with SIS, PowerSchool Special Programs, state-hosted systems, training, IDEA, continuum of services, 3 years experience, ability to analyze data, use technology, pupil accounting, understanding of requirements for MDE, CEPI, US Dept of Ed, communication/mentoring, cross-functional relationships, translate goals, policies related to ESE Enrollment, etc. We can group into Requirements (minimum qualifications) and maybe Skills (specific skills). But we need to decide which sections to include. We have Salary range: $84,387 - $114,526. That's Pay. So include Pay section. Benefits: "Benefits Eligible: Yes". Also maybe other benefits not listed. We can include Benefits section with that info. Schedule: Not mentioned. Telecommuting eligibility: Site based. Not eligible for telecommuting. That's about schedule/location. Could be Schedule section? Might be considered "Schedule" but not exactly. The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state telecommuting eligibility and location (site based). That's about work arrangement, not schedule hours. Might be considered Schedule? Probably not. Safer to omit Schedule if no explicit schedule (hours). We'll omit. We also have "Reports to: Deputy Executive Director (DED), ESE Operations & Compliance". That's metadata; could be folded into a short

maybe under About the role? Or we could include a brief paragraph with that info. We need to avoid repeating job title. Use

for section headings. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities (Essential Functions) we need a list. For Requirements/Qualifications we need list. For Benefits we need list (maybe just one item). For Pay we can just have

  with salary range. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can combine similar items. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to cut out the "Method Of Application", "Security Clearance Internal Applicants", "External Applicants", "DPSCD does not discriminate..." etc. Also remove "Performs other duites as assigned..." maybe keep as part of responsibilities? It's a duty. Could keep as a bullet. We need to keep all substantive info: position summary, essential functions, minimum qualifications, salary, benefits eligibility, telecommuting eligibility, reports to, location, bargaining unit N/A (maybe minor metadata). We can fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with location, reports to, bargaining unit, benefits eligible, telecommuting eligibility. Thus structure:

  About the role

  Position Summary ... plus maybe location, reports to, etc.

  Responsibilities

  • ... each essential function as bullet

  Requirements

  • ... minimum qualifications items

  Skills

  Maybe we can separate skills like communication, mentoring, cross-functional, etc. But many are already in qualifications. Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we combine Requirements and Skills into one section "Qualifications". However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. We could include Requirements and Skills separately if we have distinct content. Let's extract qualifications list: - Must possess and provide evidence of a master's degree in related field - Must possess full approval for Supervisor of Special (maybe "Supervisor of Special Education"? but we keep as written) - Expertise in student information systems (SIS) and PowerSchool Special Programs experience is required. - Experience with state-hosted systems and school and student reporting requirements. - Familiarity with PowerSchool Special Programs and other education-specific platforms. - Experience developing and delivering end-user training for student data systems, reporting tools, databases, and data management processes. - Experience & Knowledge of IDEA implementation within the school setting - Knowledge of the continuum of services offered to ESE students - Minimum of three (3) years of experience in ESE leadership, student information systems, enrollment, placement, compliance, or a related area preferred. - Proven ability to analyze student and program data, identify trends, and translate findings into clear, actionable information for leadership and schools. - Experience in the use and support of technology, database applications, reporting tools, and state systems. - Experience with pupil accounting principles, practices, and methods strongly preferred. - Understanding of requirements and timelines for student data submissions to the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI), and the U.S. Department of Education preferred. - Excellent communication and mentoring skills and previous experience as a collaborative leader - Skilled at running cross-functional relationships and communicating with leadership across multiple teams and departments. - Ability to translate Department and District goals into daily work activities and procedures. - Experience with policies and procedures related to ESE Enrollment, including school enrollment, Transfer B, student placement, transportation coordination, program alignment, and case management. That's a lot. Could split into Requirements (hard requirements) and Skills (soft skills). But many are overlapping. We could make Requirements list for the mandatory items: master's degree, full approval for Supervisor of Special, expertise in SIS and PowerSchool Special Programs, experience with state-hosted systems, familiarity with PowerSchool Special Programs, experience developing/delivering end-user training, knowledge of IDEA, knowledge of continuum of services, 3 years experience, ability to analyze data, experience with technology, pupil accounting, understanding of submission timelines, experience with policies related to ESE Enrollment. Skills list: excellent communication and mentoring skills, collaborative leader, skilled at cross-functional relationships, ability to translate goals, etc. But we need to preserve all info; splitting is okay as long as we don't lose anything. Responsibilities (Essential Functions) list: - Manage and support the day-to-day operations of PowerSchool Special Programs, including implementation, user support, training, troubleshooting, monitoring, and coordination of system-related needs in accordance with District expectations. - Develop, refine, and implement procedures and processes related to ESE student information, enrollment, placement, data quality, and reporting. - Use stakeholder feedback to improve PowerSchool Special Programs processes, reports, dashboards, data pulls, and user supports; partner with schools to resolve student information, enrollment, placement, and data concerns. - Establish and monitor data quality standards for ESE student information and support school and central office staff in maintaining accurate and complete records. - Coordinate across District departments to ensure ESE student data is accessible, understood, and appropriately used, and that relevant data integrations and downstream processes are supported. - Develop and maintain training, guidance, job aids, and support resources for PowerSchool, Special Programs, ESE enrollment and placement processes, and ESE data reporting. - Ensure stakeholders receive timely, relevant resources and data needed to support accurate student records, compliance, enrollment, placement, and decision-making. - Collaborate with school and central office leaders to support high-quality ESE data collection, validation, correction, and submission. - Complete and coordinate timely and accurate ESE data pulls, reports, and extracts for District leadership, schools, compliance monitoring, state and federal reporting and other approved operational needs. - Maintain operational calendars, reporting schedules, and recurring data routines that anticipate the needs of central office and school-based staff. - Coordinate with vendors and internal partners supporting PowerSchool Special Programs and related ESE data systems to resolve issues and ensure services meet operational needs. - Demonstrate an effective approach to team building, including clarity of purpose, shared responsibility, accountability, and collaboration. - Develop project management routines that support clear tasks, owners, timelines, deliverables, and regular communication with appropriate stakeholders. - Build effective relationships with school and District staff to support implementation of the District strategic plan and ESE priorities. - Oversee and implement policies, procedures, and case-management processes associated with ESE Enrollment and student placement, including school enrollment, Transfer B, placement, transportation coordination, program alignment and movement of students across the continuum of ESE services. - Performs other duties as assigned by the Senior Executive Director of ESE Operations & Compliance or designee. We need to keep all. Now Benefits: "Benefits Eligible: Yes". Could also include that it's benefits eligible. No other benefits listed. So we can have a

  stating "Benefits eligible: Yes." Pay: Salary range $84,387 - $114,526. Schedule: Not given; we have telecommuting eligibility: Site based. Not eligible for telecommuting. That's about work arrangement, not schedule. Could we put under About the role? Probably we can include location and telecommuting in About the role paragraph. We also have "Location: Exceptional Student Education". That's a bit vague; maybe it's a department. We'll include. "Bargaining Unit: N/A" minor metadata; we can drop or include in short p. "Reports to: Deputy Executive Director (DED), ESE Operations & Compliance" include. Thus About the role paragraph could contain: Position Summary plus location, reports to, bargaining unit, benefits eligible, telecommuting eligibility. We must not repeat job title. Now produce HTML. We'll need to ensure proper nesting:

  About the role

  ...

  etc. We'll not include any extra tags. Let's craft. First, About the role paragraph: "The Exceptional Student Education Operations and Compliance Division ensures that the District maintains accurate, high-quality, and timely ESE student data to support compliance, student placement, school operations, and informed decision-making. The division supports the production, management, validation, and reporting of ESE student information and works to ensure that school and District leaders have access to reliable data needed to support students, schools, and programs. As a key member of the ESE division, the Assistant Director provides leadership and day-to-day oversight for PowerSchool Special Programs, ESE Enrollment, and the placement of students receiving exceptional student education services. The Assistant Director supports accurate ESE student information, system use, data quality, enrollment and placement processes, and the timely production of data pulls and reports for school, District, state, and federal needs. This role works collaboratively with ESE leadership, schools, enrollment teams, and other District departments to ensure student information is accurate, accessible, and aligned with District procedures and special education requirements." Then add location, reports to, etc. Maybe separate sentence: "Located in the Exceptional Student Education department, the position reports to the Deputy Executive Director (DED), ESE Operations & Compliance. It is benefits eligible and site‑based (not eligible for telecommuting). Bargaining unit: N/A." We can include that. Now Responsibilities list: each bullet as
• . Now Requirements list: maybe separate into Requirements and Skills. Let's decide: We'll have Requirements (hard qualifications) and Skills (soft skills). But we need to ensure we don't miss any. Requirements list items: - Master's
