We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We must parse the description.
Key info:
- Posting for Educational Assistant positions, level Educational Assistant III, applications down to I.
- Salary range: EA I SR-10 $3,019.78 per month; EA II SR-12 $3,260.76 per month; EA III SR-14 $3,526.98 per month.
- Examples of Duties: list of duties (multiple bullet-like sentences). We'll need to put in
- .
- Minimum Qualifications: Education Requirements: high school or equivalent plus one of: ParaPro exam, 48 baccalaureate-level semester credits (incl 3 math, 3 English), associate degree or higher.
- Experience Requirements: table: EA I 0 general, 0 specialized; EA II 1 general, 0 specialized; EA III 1 general, 1 specialized. Also definitions of experience.
- American Sign Language Requirement: ability to use ASL effectively.
- Driver's License Requirement: some positions require current valid driver's license.
- Lift and Carry Requirement: some positions require ability to lift and carry up to 65 pounds unassisted and/or 100 pounds with assistance.
- Substitutions Allowed: list of substitution options.
- Supplemental Information: Salary note (full-time includes shortage and school year differentials). Requirements: must meet all requirements as of date. Calculation of experience based on full-time 40-hour weeks, part-time pro-rated, overtime not credited. Temporary Assignment verification. Documents. Temporary positions info.
- Payday: first paycheck within first 3 pay periods; payday on 5th and 20th (or previous business day) of every month.
- Benefits: list of benefits for 10-month civil service and SSP employees: Holidays, Personal Leave, Sick Leave; Health Insurance; Group Life Insurance; Premium Conversion Plan; Flexible Spending Accounts (Island Flex); Retirement Plan; Tax Shelter Annuity (TSA); Deferred Compensation; Temporary Disability Insurance; Social Security; Workers' Compensation.
We need to decide sections.
We have Pay info (salary range and payday). So we can have a Pay section with salary range and payday details.
Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention of school year, 10-month civil service, but not schedule like full-time/part-time. Could infer full-time? But we should not invent. The posting does not state schedule explicitly (like Monday-Friday, 8am-3pm). So we should not create Schedule section.
Benefits: we have explicit benefits list. So Benefits section.
Qualifications: we have education and experience requirements; could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use.
We have About the role: maybe a brief description of the role (Educational Assistant provides paraprofessional support...). That's in the description: "This posting is being used to fill various Educational Assistant positions at the specified location. The authorized level of these positions is Educational Assistant III. Applications are being accepted down to the Educational Assistant I in the event of recruiting difficulties." That's about the role.
Responsibilities: the Examples of Duties.
Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications (education, experience, ASL, driver's license, lift/carry). Could also include substitutions.
Qualifications: maybe the same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. Could split: Requirements = education & experience; Qualifications = ASL, driver's license, lift/carry, maybe also specialized experience definitions. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine education, experience, ASL, driver license, lift/carry into Requirements. And Qualifications could be omitted if not distinct. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements (education, experience, etc). We also have content for Qualifications? The posting mentions "Minimum Qualifications" heading with Education Requirements and Experience Requirements. So we could treat that as Qualifications. Then Requirements could be something else like "Specialized Experience definitions"? But that seems overlapping.
Better: Use "Qualifications" for education and experience requirements (as they are labeled Minimum Qualifications). Use "Requirements" for additional requirements like ASL, driver's license, lift/carry, and maybe substitutions. But the instruction says we can have both sections if they have real specific content. Let's see.
We have:
- Minimum Qualifications (Education Requirements, Experience Requirements). That's definitely qualifications.
- American Sign Language Requirement, Driver's License Requirement, Lift and Carry Requirement: these are additional requirements.
- Substitutions Allowed: could be part of qualifications.
Thus we could have:
Qualifications: education and experience (including tables). Requirements: ASL, driver's license, lift/carry, substitutions.
But we also have "Supplemental Information" about salary, payday, benefits, temporary assignment, documents, temporary positions. That could go into Pay, Benefits, maybe About the role? But we already have About the role.
Pay: salary range and payday.
Benefits: list of benefits.
We might also have a section for "About the role" summarizing the position.
Responsibilities: duties.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Pay, Benefits.
We should not include Skills (no specific skills listed besides ASL maybe but that's covered). Schedule: none.
Now we need to format.
Use
for each section heading. Inside each section, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details like exact numbers, definitions.
We need to include the salary range numbers exactly as given.
We need to include the payday details.
We need to include the benefits list exactly as given (maybe as bullet points).
We need to include the experience definitions (general experience, specialized experience, one year definition). Must preserve.
We need to include the experience requirements table for each level.
We need to include the ASL requirement, driver's license, lift/carry.
We need to include substitutions allowed list.
We need to include supplemental info about salary (full-time includes shortage and school year differentials), requirements (must meet all requirements as of date, calculation of experience, part-time pro-rated, overtime not credited), temporary assignment verification, documents, temporary positions info.
We need to decide where to put each piece.
Let's outline:
About the role: paragraph describing posting for Educational Assistant positions, level III, applications down to I.
Responsibilities:
- each duty sentence. The duties are given as a long paragraph with multiple sentences separated by periods but no clear bullet. We need to split into separate duties. The text: "Independently performs various academic, instruction-related support activities, tutors students in a specified aspect of knowledge as directed by the teacher, and observes and reports on student progress and difficulties.Independently provides social, vocational, and daily living instruction to students with disabilities in a school and/or community setting to enable them to function as independently as possible. Observes and reports on student progress and difficulties and makes suggestions to modify techniques and tasks based on prior experience.Independently performs assigned counseling support activities. Develops rapport with students, encourages them to express their problems, observes and reports on student progress and difficulties, and carries out pre-approved activities with students which promote a healthy self-concept, develop social skills, and help provide early identification of special needs.Independently provides articulation reinforcement lessons and repetitive drills to correct/improve speech sounds as instructed and guided by the speech pathologist. May receive training related to common speech/language disorders and problems and the methods and techniques used in speech therapy to correct them."
We can split each sentence that starts with "Independently" or "Observes" etc. Let's create list items:
- Independently performs various academic, instruction-related support activities, tutors students in a specified aspect of knowledge as directed by the teacher, and observes and reports on student progress and difficulties.
- Independently provides social, vocational, and daily living instruction to students with disabilities in a school and/or community setting to enable them to function as independently as possible.
- Observes and reports on student progress and difficulties and makes suggestions to modify techniques and tasks based on prior experience.
- Independently performs assigned counseling support activities.

- Independently provides articulation reinforcement lessons and repetitive drills to correct/improve speech sounds as instructed and guided by the speech pathologist. May receive training related to common speech/language disorders and problems and the methods and techniques used in speech therapy to correct them.
We need to keep the exact wording.
Qualifications: Education Requirements and Experience Requirements.
We need to present education requirements: Graduation from high school or equivalent and one of the following... list.
We need to present experience requirements: table for each level.
We also need to include the definition of one year experience (school year approx 180 instructional days). Also definitions of General Experience and Specialized Experience.
We could put those under Qualifications as well.
Requirements: ASL, driver's license, lift/carry, substitutions allowed.
Pay: Salary range and payday.
Benefits: list of benefits.
Now we must ensure we don't repeat info.
Let's craft.
We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? The text includes punctuation but fine.
We'll output only HTML fragment.
Let's construct.
