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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). The posting includes: Job Title, Wage/Hour Status, Reports to, Pay Grade, Dept./School, Length of Contract, Revised date, Primary Purpose, Qualifications (Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience), Major Duties (with subpoints), Other, General Employee Requirements, Supervisory Responsibilities, Equipment Used, Working Conditions (Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors), plus some signature lines. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe primary purpose), Responsibilities (major duties + other + general employee requirements?), Requirements (maybe length of contract, reports to, pay grade?), Qualifications (education/certification), Skills (special knowledge/skills), Benefits (none given), Pay (maybe wage/hour status non-exempt, pay grade?), Schedule (length of contract 10 mos., 12 mos.). We must only include sections if posting has real specific content. Benefits: none given, so omit Benefits. Pay: we have wage/hour status non-exempt, pay grade IS 1 & 2. That's specific. Schedule: length of contract 10 mos., 12 mos. That's specific. So include Pay and Schedule sections. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details: Reports to: Principal and teacher(s) assigned; Pay Grade: IS 1 & 2; Dept./School: Elementary/Secondary Education; Length of Contract: 10 mos., 12 mos.; Revised: 4/5/19 (maybe minor metadata, could be folded into short p or dropped). The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So Revised date is minor metadata; we can include in a short p maybe under About the role or at top. But we should not create a heading for it. Could include in a

    after the heading. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for Special Education Educational Aide. We need to include About the role section: maybe primary purpose. Use

    About the role

    then

    Primary Purpose ...

    . Also could include Reports to, Dept./School, Pay Grade, Length of Contract, Revised date as part of About the role? But those could be separate sections: Requirements maybe includes Reports to, Pay Grade, Dept./School, Length of Contract. However we need to decide. We have sections: About the role (primary purpose), Responsibilities (major duties + other + general employee requirements?), Requirements (maybe reports to, pay grade, dept/school, length of contract?), Qualifications (education/certification), Skills (special knowledge/skills), Pay (wage/hour status, pay grade?), Schedule (length of contract). But note Pay grade already used in Requirements maybe; but we can still include Pay section with wage/hour status and pay grade. However we must avoid duplication? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each piece somewhere. Duplication is okay if it's present in original? But we should not invent. We can include Pay grade in both Requirements and Pay if we want, but that would be duplication. Better to place each piece only once. Let's allocate: - About the role: Primary Purpose. - Responsibilities: Major Duties (list), Other (list), General Employee Requirements (list). - Requirements: Reports to, Dept./School, Pay Grade? Actually Pay Grade is more about compensation, could go to Pay. But we can put Pay Grade in Pay section. Requirements could include Reports to, Dept./School, Length of Contract? But Length of Contract goes to Schedule. So Requirements could be Reports to, Dept./School. However we need to decide if we want a Requirements section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Reports to, Dept./School, Pay Grade, Length of Contract into a "Job Details" but we only allowed headings from list. We could use Requirements for reports to and dept/school, Pay for wage/hour status and pay grade, Schedule for length of contract. That's three sections plus About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. That's many sections but each substantive. We could also merge Requirements and Pay into one "Details" but not allowed heading. So we stick to allowed headings. Thus sections:

    About the role

    Primary Purpose: Help special education teacher provide for physical and instructional needs of students with disabilities in special education setting. Assist in implementation of classroom programs, including self-help, behavior management, and instruction programs. Work under general supervision of principal and immediate direction of certified teacher.

    Responsibilities

    • Help teacher prepare instructional materials and classroom displays.
    • Help maintain a neat and orderly classroom.
    • Help with inventory, care, and maintenance of equipment.
    • Help teacher keep administrative records and prepare required reports.
    • Provide orientation and assistance to substitute teachers.
    • Student Management: Assist students with physical disabilities according to their needs, including transferring to and from wheelchairs, lifting, or positioning.
    • Assist students with physical needs and personal care, including feeding, bathroom needs, and personal hygiene.
    • Help manage behavior of students. This includes intervening in crisis situations and restraining disruptive or dangerous student behavior as needed.
    • Assume responsibility for learning and adapting to each student's special medical, physical, communicative, and emotional needs.
    • Work with individual students or small groups to develop motor skills and conduct instructional exercises assigned by teacher.
    • Help supervise students throughout the school day, inside and outside the classroom. This includes lunchroom, bus, and playground duty.
    • Keep teacher informed of special needs or problems of individual students.
    • Maintain confidentiality.
    • Participate in staff development training programs, faculty meetings, and special events as assigned.
    • Support and align work with the mission, vision, and beliefs of the district.

    • Share in the development and implementation of district success plans.
    • Actively participate in ongoing development to improve work quality and district contribution.
    • Model integrity, work ethic, and professionalism as a suitable example for LISD students.
    But note some of those are from General Employee Requirements; we included them as list items. That's fine. We need to ensure we didn't miss any duties: Also "Supervisory Responsibilities None." That's a statement; we could include as a note maybe under Responsibilities:

    Supervisory Responsibilities: None.

    Or as list item. We'll include as a list item. Also "Equipment Used Wheelchair lift, ramp, personal computer, copier, and audiovisual equipment." Could be included under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could be under Responsibilities as list item. Also "Working Conditions Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors: ..." Could be included under Responsibilities as list item or maybe a separate section? Not allowed. We'll include as list item. We must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include Equipment Used and Working Conditions details. Thus under Responsibilities we will add list items for Equipment Used and Working Conditions. Now Qualifications section:

    Qualifications

    • High School Diploma or GED
    • Valid Texas Education Agency Paraprofessional Educational Aide Certificate
    But also there is "Experience: Some experience working with children". That's experience, could be under Qualifications or maybe Requirements. We'll put under Qualifications as list item. Now Skills section:

    Skills

    • Ability to work with children with disabilities
    • Ability to follow verbal and written instructions
    • Ability to communicate effectively
    • Knowledge of general office equipment
    Now Pay section:

    Pay

    Wage/Hour Status: Non-exempt

    Pay Grade: IS 1 & 2

    But we could combine into one p. Now Schedule section:

    Schedule

    Length of Contract: 10 mos., 12 mos.

    We also have Revised: 4/5/19. Could be minor metadata; we could fold into About the role as a short p:

    Revised: 4/5/19

    . Or we could drop it. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short p under About the role. Also Dept./School: Elementary/Secondary Education. That's also minor metadata; we could include under About the role or Requirements. Since we have no Requirements section, we could put under About the role as well. But we already have About the role with primary purpose; we can add another p for Dept./School. Reports to: Principal and teacher(s) assigned. Could also go under About the role. Thus About the role could have multiple paragraphs: primary purpose, reports to, dept/school, revised date. But we must avoid too many thin sections; we already have many sections. It's okay. Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: "Supervisory Responsibilities None." We'll include as list item under Responsibilities. Now check for any other info: "Appraisee's Signature: Date: Appraiser's Signature: Date:" That's boilerplate (signature lines) - remove. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. Now output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We'll start with

    About the role

    then

    Primary Purpose: Help special education teacher provide for physical and instructional needs of students with disabilities in special education setting. Assist in implementation of classroom programs, including self-help, behavior management, and instruction programs. Work under general supervision of principal and immediate direction of certified teacher.

    Then

    Reports to: Principal and teacher(s) assigned.

    Dept./School: Elementary/Secondary Education.

    Revised: 4/5/19.

    Then Responsibilities heading with ul list. We need to be careful to not duplicate content: The primary purpose sentence already includes some of responsibilities; but we keep as is. Now list items for Responsibilities: - Help teacher prepare instructional materials and classroom displays. - Help maintain a neat and orderly classroom. - Help with inventory, care, and maintenance of equipment. - Help teacher keep administrative records and prepare required reports. - Provide orientation and assistance to substitute teachers. - Assist students with physical disabilities according to their needs, including transferring to and from wheelchairs, lifting, or positioning. - Assist students with physical needs and personal care, including feeding, bathroom needs, and personal hygiene. - Help manage behavior of students.
