Custodian Swing Shift 2026-27 - Puesta del Sol (Internal Applicants Only)
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, navigation, etc. Also remove "Verification of identity..." etc? That's likely boilerplate; but it's about employment eligibility. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The verification of identity and authorization to work, background checks, etc might be considered legal boilerplate. Probably remove that. Also remove Notice of Non-Discrimination and contact info. Also remove "Conditions Of Employment" includes salary, schedule, benefits. Keep that.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include Position Purpose, Commitment To Equity, DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES, Reporting Relationship, Required EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE, LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, Physical Requirements, Conditions Of Employment (pay, schedule, benefits). Also maybe "Preferred" etc.
We need to format lists appropriately.
Let's extract content:
Position Purpose: "The Custodian is responsible for performing custodial work as required in and around school buildings; maintaining clean, safe and efficient educational facility. Reports to supervisor any condition beyond the employee's control."
Commitment To Equity: "The Bellevue School District is committed to a diverse workforce representative of our students, one that embraces and models cultural competency as an international community."
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: list items separated by semicolons. Let's break into bullet points:

- Cleans and maintains furniture and fixtures, washes windows, vacuums carpets, curtains, blinds and furniture

LICENSING REQUIREMENTS: "None"

We need sections: About the role (Position Purpose), Commitment To Equity maybe as its own section? Could be under About the role but we can keep separate. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. But we can also use other headings if they match the content? The examples are just examples; we can use those headings for sections we have. Likely we should use: About the role (Position Purpose + Commitment To Equity?), Responsibilities (DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES), Requirements (Education & Experience + Licensing?), Qualifications (Knowledge + Skills?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we must not create sections with filler. We have actual content for each.
Let's decide:
- About the role: combine Position Purpose and Commitment To Equity? Could be two paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES.
- Requirements: Required EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE and LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.
- Qualifications: KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS.
- Physical Requirements maybe could be part of Requirements? But we could add a separate section "Physical Requirements" if we want, but not in the example list. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate Physical Requirements into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have a lot of content; maybe better to keep separate sections: Requirements (Education & Experience, Licensing), Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills), Physical Requirements, Pay, Schedule, Benefits.
But we must not create sections with filler. All have content.
Let's map:

maybe not needed; we can just list knowledge as . But we could just put knowledge and skills under Qualifications with . However we need to use for section headings only; we can still have inside? The instruction only mentions using for section headings; doesn't forbid other headings but better to stick to for major sections. We could have Qualifications and then two lists with preceding indicating Knowledge and Skills. Or we could split into two sections: Knowledge and Skills. But that would be many sections. Prefer few substantive sections. So we can have Qualifications with two
lists, each preceded by a describing.

Also mention collective bargaining agreement maybe in Pay or Benefits. Could include in Pay section.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have not included boilerplate.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: Did we miss anything? The "Reports to supervisor any condition beyond the employee's control." included in Position Purpose paragraph. Good.
The "Reports to and is directly supervised by Building Administrator and Custodial Manager and/or Custodial Supervisor." included in Requirements? Actually we placed it under Requirements? No we placed it under Requirements? We didn't. We missed Reporting Relationship. Should include somewhere, maybe under Requirements or About the role. It's a reporting relationship, could be part of About the role or Requirements. Let's add a paragraph under About the role after Position Purpose? Or under Requirements. I'll add a separate paragraph under About the role: "Reports to and is directly supervised by Building Administrator and Custodial Manager and/or Custodial Supervisor."
Now check if we missed any details: In DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES we captured all bullet points. Ensure we didn't miss any: "Cleans and maintains equipment; empties and clean pencil sharpeners, trash and recycle bins;" we have separate bullet for clean and maintains equipment, and empties and clean pencil sharpeners, trash and recycle bins.
