Central Office_Substitute Paraprofessional (Supply Employees) 2026-2027

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 as heading. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting: - Title: Paraprofessional Substitute (but we shouldn't repeat as heading) - Position Type: Substitute Paraprofessional - Location: Supply Employees - This is a temporary day-to-day position. - Due to high volume, only qualified candidates will be contacted as needed. - To be considered as qualified, your application must be COMPLETE and contain the following: - Have sixty (60) semester hours or ninety (90) quarter hours of college courses work with a grade C or better - Online Substitute Training Course STEDI ($49.95 fee) with a composite passing score of at least 80% (http://www.stedi.org/) - Two Professional References Or High school diploma/GED - GACE Paraprofessional Assessment; and Online Substitute Training Course STEDI ($49.95 fee) with a composite passing score of at least 80% (http://www.stedi.org/) - Two Professional References Or Valid Professional Standards Commission-approved Paraprofessional certificate - Two Professional References Seems like multiple options: either college hours OR high school diploma/GED + GACE assessment + STEDI + references OR valid paraprofessional certificate + references. But we need to preserve all info. Then: The DeKalb County School District is currently seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals to work as Substitute Paraprofessionals in schools throughout the district for the 2026-2027 school year. Then: The material contained herein is subject to change. All open positions offered by the DeKalb County School District are subject to specific job requirements. The DeKalb County School District is an equal opportunity employer, and all hiring decisions are subject to federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations. (boilerplate, remove) Title: Paraprofessional Substitute (again) As a substitute, you will perform the duties of the permanent classroom paraprofessional. Knowledge of and ability to assist in instructing reading, writing, and mathematics is preferred. Essential Functions: list of duties. Education And/Or Experience: Minimum of sixty (60) semester hours or ninety (90) quarter hours of college courses completed with a grade C or better or higher from a Professional Standards Commission approved accredited college or university is required - or - High school diploma/GED and a passing score on the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators (GACE) Paraprofessional Assessment is required. Please have your institution/school send your transcript electronically to officialtranscripts@dekalbschoolsga.org. CERTIFICATES, LICENSES, PERMITS: None. We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (qualifications), maybe Skills (knowledge of reading, writing, math preferred), Benefits/Pay/Schedule only if present. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need to include a short

for minor metadata like location, temporary day-to-day, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we can start with a

containing location and position type? Or we can embed in About the role. Let's structure:

About the role

Temporary day-to-day Substitute Paraprofessional position with the DeKalb County School District, serving Supply Employees locations for the 2026-2027 school year.

But we need to preserve "This is a temporary day-to-day position." and location "Supply Employees". Also mention seeking highly motivated individuals. We can combine. Responsibilities: list of essential functions as

• . Requirements: maybe combine education and experience and other qualifications (references, STEDI, GACE, certificate options). Could be a
  . Qualifications: maybe separate? The instructions say use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can have both Requirements and Qualifications if content distinct. But we could combine into Requirements and not create Qualifications if not needed. However we have "Knowledge of and ability to assist in instructing reading, writing, and mathematics is preferred." That could be Skills. Thus we can have: - About the role (description) - Responsibilities (essential functions) - Requirements (education/experience, certificates, references, STEDI, etc.) - Skills (preferred knowledge of reading, writing, math) We should not create Benefits/Pay/Schedule. Now we need to preserve all substantive info: include the STEDI fee and URL, references requirement, GACE assessment, professional certificate option, transcript email. Let's extract details: From "To be considered as qualified, your application must be COMPLETE and contain the following:" list: - Have sixty (60) semester hours or ninety (90) quarter hours of college courses work with a grade C or better - Online Substitute Training Course STEDI ($49.95 fee) with a composite passing score of at least 80% (http://www.stedi.org/) - Two Professional References Or High school diploma/GED - GACE Paraprofessional Assessment; and Online Substitute Training Course STEDI ($49.95 fee) with a composite passing score of at least 80% (http://www.stedi.org/) - Two Professional References Or Valid Professional Standards Commission-approved Paraprofessional certificate - Two Professional References This is confusing; seems like multiple alternatives. We'll just list them as bullet points preserving the text. Education And/Or Experience: Minimum of sixty (60) semester hours or ninety (90) quarter hours of college courses completed with a grade C or better or higher from a Professional Standards Commission approved accredited college or university is required - or - High school diploma/GED and a passing score on the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators (GACE) Paraprofessional Assessment is required. Please have your institution/school send your transcript electronically to officialtranscripts@dekalbschoolsga.org. CERTIFICATES, LICENSES, PERMITS: None. Thus we can combine. Now produce HTML. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft:

  About the role

  This is a temporary day-to-day Substitute Paraprofessional position with the DeKalb County School District, serving Supply Employees locations for the 2026-2027 school year. The district seeks highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals to work as Substitute Paraprofessionals in schools throughout the district.

  • Performs other duties as assigned.

  Skills

  Knowledge of and ability to assist in instructing reading, writing, and mathematics is preferred.

  Check for duplication: we listed both STEDI and references multiple times; but we kept them once. However the original had multiple mentions; we need to preserve all substantive info, not necessarily duplicate lines. It's okay to consolidate as long as we don't lose info. The info includes: STEDI course with fee and URL, two professional references, either high school diploma/GED + GACE OR valid paraprofessional certificate, OR college hours. Also the alternative education path. We captured those. We also need to include "This is a temporary day-to-day position." Already in About the role. We also need to include "Due to the high volume of applications, only qualified candidates will be contacted as needed." That's substantive; we should include it maybe in About the role or a separate note. Let's add a sentence. Also "To be considered as qualified, your application must be COMPLETE and contain the following:" we captured the list. We also need to include "The material contained herein is subject to change. All open positions offered by the DeKalb County School District are subject to specific job requirements." That's boilerplate? Might be considered generic but it's about job requirements; could be considered substantive? It's a generic statement; but instructions say remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic. However it's about job requirements; maybe we keep? It's not EEO. It's a disclaimer that content may change. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." This line is not exactly those categories, but it's a generic disclaimer. I'd keep it maybe in About the role as a note. Also "The DeKalb County School District is an equal opportunity employer, and all hiring decisions are subject to federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "Title: Paraprofessional Substitute As a substitute, you will perform the duties of the permanent classroom paraprofessional. Knowledge of and ability to assist in instructing reading, writing, and mathematics is preferred." We already used knowledge part in Skills; the rest about performing duties is covered in Responsibilities. We also have "Essential Functions The following duties are representative for this position. The omission of specific statements of duties does not exclude them from the classification if the work is similar, related, or a logical assignment for this classification. Other duties may be required and assigned." That's generic; we can keep the list but we already have list; the preceding sentences are boilerplate-ish but not exactly. Might be okay to keep a short sentence about duties being representative. But we can omit as it's not essential info? It's somewhat generic but could be considered part of responsibilities description. I'd keep a brief sentence: "The following duties are representative for this position; other duties may be required and assigned." That's not too much. We'll incorporate. Now ensure we didn't add Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections. Now output HTML. Check for
