Dayton Intermediate Paraprofessional 09.11.26
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes pay range info: "Range $19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement, dependent upon previous experience Range $16.29-$22.87 hourly with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience". That's two ranges? Possibly two categories? We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes, they give pay ranges. So we can include a Pay section with that info. Also maybe Benefits: they mention retirement (Employee/Employer retirement, Employer-paid retirement). Could be considered benefits. But we should only include Benefits if posting actually states them. It mentions retirement benefits. Could include Benefits section summarizing retirement. However we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting says "dependent upon previous experience". That's okay.
We also have Schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule section.
We have About the role? Could use POSITION SUMMARY as About the role. That's appropriate.
Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities.
Requirements: Position Requirements (Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications). Also maybe Position Expectations? Could be Qualifications? We'll map.
Qualifications: maybe Position Expectations? But we can combine.
Skills: maybe not explicit; but we have abilities listed under Position Expectations (Ability to work effectively..., etc). Those could be skills.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading for Special Education Paraprofessional.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use headings, - for lists,
for prose.
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 format them.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, navigation, etc. The posting includes an Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph at end; we should remove that. Also remove any duplicated lines.
We need to keep all substantive info: position summary, essential duties, responsibilities, position expectations, position requirements (education, training, licenses/certs), physical and mental requirements, working conditions, pay info.
We need to decide sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (essential duties). Requirements (education and training, licenses/certs). Qualifications (position expectations? maybe). Skills (abilities). Benefits (retirement). Pay (pay ranges). Possibly also Working Conditions? Could be its own section but not in allowed headings list; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit working conditions into one of those, maybe Requirements or Qualifications. But we should not invent headings not allowed. Could put working conditions under Requirements? Might be okay but it's not strictly requirements. Could put under Qualifications? Might be okay.
Better: Use Requirements for education/licenses, Qualifications for position expectations (knowledge, abilities), Skills for specific abilities? But there is overlap.
We need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine.
Let's think: The posting includes:
- Position Summary (About the role)
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities)
- Position Expectations (list of abilities) -> could be Skills or Qualifications.
- Position Requirements (Education and Training: HS diploma/GED, driver's license, DMV clearance; Licenses and Certifications: specialized training, Crisis Prevention, First Aid, CPR, Bloodborne Pathogen)
- Physical And Mental Requirements (strength, etc.) -> could be Qualifications? Or Requirements? Might be part of Requirements.
- Working Conditions -> could be Qualifications? Or maybe we can put under Requirements as well.
- Pay info: ranges.
Thus we can create sections:

Benefits
Retirement: Employee/Employer retirement (dependent on experience) and Employer-paid retirement (dependent on experience).
Pay
Pay range: $19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement, dependent upon previous experience; also $16.29-$22.87 hourly with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "dependent upon previous experience" is okay.
We must not repeat job title. Not include ID.
We must not include boilerplate EEO.
We need to preserve all substantive information: need to include each duty exactly as in posting. Let's extract duties list from "Essential Duties And Responsibilities". It's a long paragraph with sentences separated by periods. We need to split into list items. We'll preserve each sentence as a li.
Let's copy the duties text:
"Assists the student(s) in the program to whom they are assigned in such physical tasks as putting on and taking off outerwear, moving from room to room, using the restroom, provide toileting and/or personal hygiene care (i.e. changing diapers), carrying lunch trays, eating, transportation, etc.Assists the student(s) in curriculum tasks as assigned by a certified teacher, carrying out instructional programs and lessons in various learning environments, in and out of the traditional classroom, as designated in the instructional plan based on the IEP and under the direct supervision of the certified teacher.Under the direct supervision of a certified teacher, works with small groups of students to reinforce material initially introduced by the teacher.Accompanies the student(s) to other locations within the school, if the child's disability warrants this type of support.Establishes as fully as possible a supportive relationship with the student(s) without fostering or encouraging intense emotional involvement.Serves as a resource person, if and when requested, to the student's eligibility and IEP teams when conferring about the student whom the paraprofessional is assigned.Assisting individual students in performing activities initiated by the special education or classroom teacher.Assisting the special education teacher in data collection procedures, observing, recording and charting behavior.Monitoring and reporting student(s) progress to the certified personnel.Assist the student in interacting with the available classroom technology & augmentative devices (SmartBoard, iPad, etc.).Conforms to safety standards as prescribed.Ability to work with students and adults in a variety of settings on and off school campus areas.Ability to commute outside of attendance area as required by certified personnel in order to transport students to programs not available within the student's school of attendance.Ability to take direction from and provide assistance to the Special Education teacher in charge of the special education program.Performs and participates in other related duties as assigned by the building administrator or designee."
Note there are some sentences that start with "Ability to..." which are actually part of Position Expectations maybe but they appear in duties list. We'll keep them as duties.
We need to split by periods. Ensure each li ends with a period.
Now Position Expectations list:
"Knowledge of CPR/AED and Universal Precautions.
Ability to work effectively with special needs students.
Ability to interpret and apply oral and written instructions.
Ability to perform several tasks and determine priorities.
Ability to deal with unusual behavior and crisis situations.
Ability to learn and apply school rules, regulations, and procedures.
Ability to complete routine records.
Ability to recognize and report hazards and apply safe work methods.
Possess physical and mental stamina commensurate with the responsibilities of the position.
Willingness to attend training as it relates to implementation of IEPs."
We'll put these as li under Skills.
Position Requirements:
Education and Training: "High school diploma or GED equivalent.Valid driver's license and DMV clearance."
Licenses and Certifications: "Must have the ability to complete: Specialized training as needed to meet student needs as outlined in IEP's.Current Crisis Prevention and Restraint Training, First Aid, and CPR Training.Blood borne Pathogen and Universal Precaution Training"
Physical And Mental Requirements: long paragraph.
Working Conditions: paragraph.
We need to preserve all details.
Now Benefits: The posting mentions retirement: "Range $19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement, dependent upon previous experience Range $16.29-$22.87 hourly with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience". So we can phrase Benefits as retirement benefits.
Pay: we need to include the ranges. Could combine both in Pay section.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state retirement and pay ranges, so okay.
Now produce HTML.
We'll need to escape any HTML special characters like & inside text. Use & for &. Also need to handle apostrophes fine.
Let's craft.
