Educational Assistant I, II, III - Konawaena High

for Requirements and then inside use

and

. That's fine. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we treat Minimum Qualifications as Qualifications, and Requirements as Requirements? However the spec says use headings for sections like Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can have both Requirements and Qualifications if content distinct. Minimum Qualifications includes education and experience; that's qualifications. Requirements could be other requirements like driver's license, lift/carry, etc. But we can also put all under Requirements. Safer to have one Requirements section covering all. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe not. - Benefits: The paragraph about benefits (holidays, personal leave, sick leave, health insurance, group life insurance, premium conversion plan, flexible spending accounts, retirement plan, tax shelter annuity, deferred compensation, temporary disability insurance, social security, workers' compensation, union & collective bargaining). That's substantive. - Pay: Salary range details plus Payday info. So include Pay section with salary range and payday schedule. - Schedule: Not given; maybe not include. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any details. That's a lot; we need to include all details from the posting within those sections. Let's extract all content pieces: From 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."
