East Valley Elementary Paraprofessional 09.15.26

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position Type: Support Staff/Paraprofessional - Date Posted: 9/15/2026 - Location: East Valley Elementary - Date Available: Sept/2026 - Closing Date: 09/22/2026 - SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAPROFESSIONAL (typo) - 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 - Job Group: Specialized or Technical - Terms of Employment: Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month) - FLSA Status: NON-EXEMPT - POSITION SUMMARY: description... - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties (bullets) - ACCOUNTABILITIES: Works under direct supervision... - Position Expectations: list of abilities - Position Requirements: Education and Training: High school diploma or GED equivalent. Valid driver's license and DMV clearance. Licenses and Certifications: Must have ability to complete: Specialized training as needed... Current Crisis Prevention and Restraint Training, First Aid, and CPR Training. Blood borne Pathogen and Universal Precaution Training. Candidates must meet minimum qualifications... - Physical And Mental Requirements: description - Working Conditions: description - Equal Opportunity Employer boilerplate (should be removed) - Also mention "Range $19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement..." and second range. We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes, there are pay ranges. So we need a Pay section with that info. Schedule? Not explicitly given. Terms of Employment: Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month). That indicates 9 month term (school year). Could be considered schedule? Might be considered "Schedule" but not explicit like full-time/part-time hours. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have Pay. For Schedule, we have "9 month" term but not daily schedule. Might be considered schedule? Probably not enough; better to omit Schedule section. Benefits: mention retirement (Employee/Employer retirement, Employer-paid retirement). That's a benefit. So we can include Benefits section describing retirement. We also need About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (essential duties). Requirements (education, training, licenses). Qualifications maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, training, licenses, physical requirements, working conditions). Could also have Benefits and Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Special Education Paraprofessional". Use headings for sections. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we have none. We must remove boilerplate: Equal Opportunity Employer, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like pay ranges, retirement info, 9 month term, etc. We need to format lists with

• . For prose use

  . We need to include headings only when there is real specific content. Let's craft sections:

  But note some of those are abilities not duties; but they appear in the list. We'll keep as given. We also have ACCOUNTABILITIES: Works under the direct supervision of a licensed teacher and is evaluated by the site administration in utilizing teacher input. Could be part of Responsibilities or About the role. Might add as a separate bullet.

These could go under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll create a Requirements section that includes Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications, Position Expectations, Physical and Mental Requirements, Working Conditions. But we need to avoid too many sections. Perhaps combine into Requirements. Let's craft Requirements heading with subpoints maybe as
  but we need to keep details. We'll do:

The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have Pay and Benefits. For Schedule, we have "9 month" term but not daily schedule. Might be considered schedule? I'd say it's more
