Early Childhood Special Education Assistant II - Broadus Wood Elementary School - 2026-27 School Year
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. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, etc. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include sections with placeholder text. We need to parse the posting. Job title: Early Childhood Special Education Assistant II Broadus Wood Elementary 2026-27 School Year We need sections: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about Albemarle County Public Schools mission etc. That is substantive. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Essential Functions). That's many bullet points. - Requirements: maybe Education And Experience, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? Actually Knowledge, Skills and Abilities is a section; but we have separate headings for Skills, Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: mission statements, description of division, benefits? Actually benefits also separate. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. - Requirements: maybe Education And Experience (Any combination of education and experience equivalent to graduation from high school including basic keyboard and filing training.) - Qualifications: maybe Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? But they also have Skills heading separate. The posting includes "Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:" then bullet-like sentences. Could treat that as Skills. - Benefits: they mention ACPS employees enjoy competitive pay and benefits, including health & dental coverage, retirement, flexible spending accounts, paid time off, wellness program, discounts on gym memberships, and more! - Pay: Not explicitly stated; they mention competitive pay but no specific amount. According to rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "competitive pay" but no specific number. That's vague; maybe we should not include Pay because it's not specific. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "competitive pay" is vague but still states that pay is competitive; is that considered stating? It's not a specific amount. I'd interpret that as not enough to create a Pay section. Safer to omit Pay. - Schedule: Not mentioned; maybe school year schedule implied but not explicit. So omit Schedule. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's extract About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to "Be sure to check out our website to learn more about our Division and our Schools." That's about division mission, anti-racism policy, etc. Also includes "ACPS employees enjoy competitive pay and benefits..." but that's benefits; we might move benefits to Benefits section. So About the role should include the mission statements, description of division, maybe the first paragraph about looking to work in school division etc. We'll keep that. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (the long list). We'll put each as
- .
Requirements: Education And Experience paragraph.
Skills: Knowledge, Skills and Abilities paragraph (the repeated sentences). It repeats same sentence twice; we should preserve but not duplicate? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It appears the text repeats exactly same sentence twice. Should we keep both? It's duplicate; but preserving all substantive info might mean we keep it as is, but we could deduplicate? The instruction says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Removing a duplicate could be considered summarizing away detail? It's duplicate detail; but it's not adding new info. Might be okay to keep one instance? Safer to keep both as they appear? However, that would be redundant but still preserving. I'd keep both sentences as separate
- maybe? But they are not list items; they are prose. Could combine into one
with both sentences. That preserves detail (both sentences). Not summarizing away. So we can put both sentences in a
. Benefits: The sentence about ACPS employees enjoy competitive pay and benefits, including health & dental coverage, retirement, flexible spending accounts, paid time off, wellness program, discounts on gym memberships, and more! Also maybe mention "Be sure to check out our website..." but that's not benefit. We'll keep benefits as that sentence. We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. There's none evident. Now produce HTML fragment:

We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info like "General Definition Of Work" maybe could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? The General Definition Of Work describes the role; could be included in About the role. But we already have About the role with mission statements. Could add that as part of About the role. However, the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could merge General Definition Of Work into About the role or Responsibilities. Since we already have Responsibilities covering Essential Functions, we could put General Definition Of Work in About the role as a paragraph before the mission statements? But the mission statements are more about division; the General Definition Of Work is about the role. Might be better to have About the role include both division description and general definition. Let's include after the mission statements a paragraph: "General Definition Of Work The Special Education Assistant II provides support to the instructional program with specific responsibility for assisting in the supervision, care, and instruction of students with special needs; assisting in implementing plans for instruction; monitoring student behavior; documenting activities and progress; and supporting students’ IEP goals." That is substantive. Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: first about division mission, second about general definition. We must not repeat job title as heading. Now produce final HTML. Check for any other sections: "Physical Conditions And Nature Of Work Contacts" etc. That could be part of Requirements? But we already have Requirements as education/experience. Physical conditions could be considered Requirements or maybe Skills? But we have no specific heading for Physical Conditions. Could we add a section like "Working Conditions"? Not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests we should limit to those headings. So we should not create other headings. So we need to fit physical conditions into one of those allowed headings. Where does it fit? Possibly Requirements (since they are job requirements). Or Skills? Physical conditions are more like job demands, could be under Requirements. We'll add a paragraph under Requirements after education/experience. Thus Requirements will have two paragraphs: education/experience and physical conditions. Let's extract physical conditions text: "Physical Conditions And Nature Of Work Contacts Duties performed typically in school settings include classroom, gym, cafeteria, auditorium, and recreational areas. Frequent walking, standing, light lifting, up to 80 pounds, and other physical activities necessary for the movement and comfort of disabled students are required. Occasional travel with students on field trips may be necessary. Regular movement of students by wheelchairs and other mechanical devices may be required. Personal hygiene of disabled students in changing catheters, diapers, and clothing may be required. Training and immunization against blood-borne pathogens may be necessary. Occasional lifting of equipment such as audio-visuals weighing up to 50 pounds may be required. Occasional attendance at parent conferences, building-level meetings division-wide meetings, and training activities beyond normal assigned hours is necessary. Daily personal and close contact with children to provide classroom management and learning environment support is required. Regular contact with other staff members, parents, and medical professionals may be required. Contacts with community and division-level staff may require considerable tact and diplomacy. Contact with children requires considerable empathy and understanding of students with disabilities. Must be able to work within various degrees of noise, temperature, and air quality. Interruptions of work are routine. Job responsibilities include both inside and outside duties. Flexibility and patience are required. Must be self-motivated and able to complete job assignments. After-hour work may be required. Must be able to work under stressful conditions. Knowledge of universal hygiene precautions. May be subject to physical and emotional outbursts by students, including such behaviors as hitting, kicking, spitting, scratching, and biting. Dexterity of hands and fingers assist/restrain students and operate specialized equipment or office equipment. Sitting or standing for extended periods of time. Bending at the waist, kneeling, or crouching to assist students. Seeing to read a variety of materials and monitor student activities. Hearing and speaking to exchange information. Reaching overhead, above the shoulders, and horizontally. Lifting or moving children from wheelchairs to tables or desks." We'll put that as a
under Requirements. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Evaluation Performance will be evaluated on the ability and effectiveness in carrying out the above responsibilities." That's essentially a statement about evaluation; could be part of Responsibilities? But it's not a duty; it's about evaluation. Could be omitted? It's substantive info about how performance will be evaluated. Could fit under Responsibilities? Maybe as a final bullet. But we could also put under Requirements? Not ideal. Since we have no Evaluation heading, we could add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Performance will be evaluated on the ability and effectiveness in carrying out the above responsibilities." That is a responsibility? It's more about evaluation. But we can include as a bullet under Responsibilities to preserve info. It's not a duty but still substantive. Let's add as a
- at end of Responsibilities list. Now check for any other substantive info: "Be sure to check out our website to learn more about our Division and our Schools." That's a call to action; could be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal; it's a suggestion to learn more. Might be considered part of About the role? Could be included as a sentence. We'll include it in About the role after mission statements. Now produce final HTML. Make sure to not include any markdown fences. Let's craft. About the role paragraph 1: "Are you looking to work in a school division where students are engaged in authentic, challenging, and relevant learning experiences, becoming lifelong contributors
