We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove EEO etc. Must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. We have salary range info: Salary Range: Educational Assistant I, SR-10: $3,019.78 per month; II: $3,260.76; III: $3,526.98. Also Payday info: Payday is on the 5th and 20th (or previous business day) of every month. Also mention "Supplemental Information Salary: The advertised salary is based on full-time employment and includes shortage and school year differentials, if applicable." So we have Pay info (salary range, payday). Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "10-month civil service and SSP employees enjoy a range of competitive benefits: Holidays, Personal Leave, and Sick Leave: Many employees enjoy paid holidays, personal leave, and sick leave during the school year provided that all conditions under the respective collective bargaining agreement are met. Health Insurance: ... Group Life Insurance: ... Premium Conversion Plan: ... Flexible Spending Accounts: ... Retirement Plan: ... Tax Shelter Annuity (TSA): ... Deferred Compensation: ... Temporary Disability Insurance: ... Social Security: ... Workers' Compensation: ... Union & Collective Bargaining: ..." So we have benefits content. Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of "full-time employment" and "part-time experience is pro-rated". No explicit schedule like "full-time, 40-hour workweeks". Might be considered schedule? The posting mentions "Calculation of experience is based on full-time, 40-hour workweeks." That's about experience calculation, not schedule of job. There's no explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday, 8am-3pm". So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states schedule. It does not. So omit Schedule. About the role: 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. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: The "Examples of Duties" section lists duties. So Responsibilities section. Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications (Education Requirements, Experience Requirements, Driver's License Requirement, Lift and Carry Requirement). Also "Substitutions Allowed" etc. That's qualifications. But we have separate Qualifications section maybe for education/ experience? The instructions: Use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be minimum qualifications (education, experience). Qualifications could be preferred or additional qualifications? But we have both Education Requirements and Experience Requirements plus substitutions. Could treat them as Requirements. Qualifications could be maybe "Skills"? But we have no explicit skills list. Could combine. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: We have substantive content for About the role, Responsibilities (Examples of Duties), Requirements (Education Requirements, Experience Requirements, Driver's License, Lift/Carry), Qualifications (maybe Substitutions Allowed?), Skills (maybe none), Benefits, Pay. We could merge Substitutions Allowed into Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings, we need to allocate content meaningfully. We could put Education Requirements, Experience Requirements, Driver's License, Lift/Carry under Requirements. Then put Substitutions Allowed under Qualifications (as alternative ways to meet requirements). Skills: maybe we could list skills implied from duties: academic support, tutoring, observation, reporting, social/vocational instruction, counseling, articulation reinforcement, etc. But those are duties, not skills. Could we create a Skills section from duties? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We could list skills as part of responsibilities, but we could also create a Skills section if we can derive from duties without inventing. However, we risk creating content not explicitly stated as skills. Better to omit Skills section if no explicit skills list. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. No Skills, no Schedule. Check for any other sections: maybe "Supplemental Information" includes salary and benefits etc. Already covered. Now we need to format: Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Must remove duplicated lines. Must not include application instructions (like "Attach all relevant supporting documents...") Actually that is substantive? It's about documents. Might be considered part of application instructions, which we should remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the paragraph about documents, temporary assignment verification, etc. Also remove "Supplemental Information" maybe? Actually Supplemental Information includes salary and requirements etc. Some of that is substantive (salary, requirements). We need to keep salary and requirements but remove application instructions like "Documents: Attach all relevant supporting documents..." etc. Also remove "Information about Temporary Positions:" etc. That's likely application instructions. Also remove "Equal Opportunity" boilerplate. Remove "Payday" maybe? Payday is part of Pay info, we keep. Remove "10-month civil service and SSP employees enjoy a range of competitive benefits:" that's benefits, keep. Remove "Union & Collective Bargaining:" maybe part of benefits? It's about rights, could be considered benefits? Might be considered benefits but it's more about union rights. Could keep as part of benefits? It's not exactly a benefit like health insurance. Might be considered part of benefits but it's more about employee rights. The instruction says include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits list, so we keep benefits. The union part maybe could be considered part of benefits but it's not a typical benefit. However it's still substantive info about employment. We could include it under Benefits as a bullet. We must not include "Equal Opportunity" etc. So remove that. Now let's extract substantive content: About the role: - 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. Responsibilities (Examples of Duties): List each duty paragraph. The duty paragraphs are long sentences with multiple independent clauses separated by periods but no clear bullet. We need to turn into list items. Each duty appears as a sentence starting with "Independently performs..." etc. There are four duty paragraphs: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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 could split each paragraph into separate bullet points, but we could also keep each paragraph as a bullet. The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should make each duty a
    • . Could also split further but not necessary.
