Early Childhood/Elementary Paraprofessional

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 preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no navigation, no EEO, no application instructions, no duplicated lines. Also we must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes "COMPENSATION & BENEFITS: Commensurate with experience and district pay scale." That's vague; it's not a specific amount, just "commensurate with experience". According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should NOT include Pay or Benefits sections because content is placeholder. Also schedule: "TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT: 32-40 hours Monday-Thursday of the school year." That's specific schedule info: 32-40 hours Monday-Thursday. That's schedule. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. Benefits: not specific, so omit. Pay: omit. We need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (preferred qualifications?), Skills (other knowledge, skills, abilities). We must decide mapping. The posting has sections: SUMMARY, Essential Duties And Responsibilities, Other Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS, PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS, SPECIAL CONDITIONS, TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT, COMPENSATION & BENEFITS, REPORTS TO, etc. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put summary under About the role. Responsibilities under Responsibilities. Requirements could be MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS. Qualifications could be PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS. Skills could be Other Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Schedule from TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT. Possibly also include SPECIAL CONDITIONS? Not a standard heading; maybe we could incorporate into Requirements or Skills? But we must not create extra headings not in list. Could we put SPECIAL CONDITIONS under Requirements? It's not exactly qualifications but maybe we can include as part of Requirements (like additional requirements). However we must preserve all substantive info; we can embed it in a

under Requirements or Skills. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are allowed but not exclusive? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings like Special Conditions. We can incorporate that info into existing sections, maybe under Requirements as a paragraph. Also REPORTS TO could go under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. We must remove duplicated lines. Let's extract substantive content: SUMMARY: The paraprofessional assists in the preschool classroom, on the school bus before and after school, and provides 1-1 support to students as needed during the school day. Essential Duties And Responsibilities (list): - Report for duty by 7:30 a.m. and remain at school until 4:30 p.m., in order to assist students on our district bus four days per week (Monday-Thursday) - Assist in the educational and social development of students under the direction and guidance of the lead teacher - Required to be on the bus for pick-up and drop-off of students; assisting with safety equipment and 5 point restraint systems - Assist the teacher and students with general instructional and assistive technology devices - Encourage students to exercise independence, autonomy, and responsibility - Assist with classroom management and enforcement of rules - Provide prompt communication and feedback regarding student progress, behavior data, and effectiveness of interventions - Collect and record accurate data related to behavior goals and therapeutic objectives, and assist in monitoring student progress - Complete Handle With Care training and participate in annual recertification, and attend staff and team meetings - Complete 10 credits hours of professional development each calendar year on designated topics including Pediatric First Aid and CPR - Maintain confidentiality regarding school/workplace matters, assist with student records, and perform other duties as assigned - Assist in the maintenance of an orderly classroom and a healthy, safe, and positive learning environment - Provide support for students inside and outside the classroom to enable them to fully participate in activities.

Now we need to produce HTML with sections:

About the role

... summary plus maybe reports to?

We could include REPORTS TO in About the role.

Responsibilities

• ... each duty

Requirements

... MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS plus maybe SPECIAL CONDITIONS?

Qualifications

... PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Skills

• ... Other Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities

Schedule

... TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT schedule part: 32-40 hours Monday-Thursday of the school year.

We should not include other parts of TERMS like attendance, background check? Those are also requirements maybe. Could include them under Requirements as well. But we need to preserve all substantive info. So we should include all parts of TERMS: 32-40 hours Monday-Thursday, regular reliable attendance, physical ability, pass background check. However schedule section should only contain schedule? The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can put schedule specifics under Schedule heading. The other terms (attendance, background check) could go under Requirements as they are requirements. That seems fine. Now we need to ensure we don't include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". So we omit Compensation & Benefits entirely. We also need to omit APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS, EEO, etc. Now produce HTML fragment. We must not include markdown code fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft:
