Educational Assistant III (Special Education - MAPS PLUS) - Part -Time

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position: Educational Assistant III - Part -Time (Special Education MAPS PLUS) - Hours: 5.75 hours/day - Building: Crater High School - Calendar: 184 days per year (August - June) - Compensation and Benefits: $20.63 - $24.80, depending upon approved accepted experience; Longevity pay after completion of 6 years of employment; Annual COLA pay increase (as negotiated with Oregon School Employees Association); Annual step pay increase awarded to eligible employees; 8 paid holidays annually; 10 paid sick leave days per year; 2 paid personal leave days per year; 5 paid bereavement leave days per year, per occurrence; $80.17 per month toward either: Section 125 or 403B (if employee elects to enroll in either a Section 125 or 403B, the district will match an additional $40. per month); $60. per month employer match into a tax sheltered annuity when employee contributes $35. per month; Employee Assistance Program (EAP); 6% district-paid contribution towards Oregon Public Employees Retirement System - Purpose and description: Educational Assistant III (MAPS+) assists in delivery of instructional programs... etc. - Required Qualifications: Must possess a high school diploma or equivalent (may be waived).

Probably keep as given.) - Bargaining Unit: OSEA - FLSA Status: Non-Exempt - Date Approved: 8/22/25 - Date Revised Range: 14 - EEO statement: we should remove boilerplate (EEO/equal-opportunity). So drop that. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no

for the title. We need to decide sections: About the role (purpose/nature of work), Responsibilities (essential job functions + special responsibilities), Requirements/Qualifications (required qualifications), Skills (maybe basic computer skills etc), Benefits (compensation and benefits), Pay (maybe we can include pay in Benefits? But we have separate Pay section if posting states pay. It does: $20.63 - $24.80 depending on experience, plus longevity, COLA, step increase. So we can have Pay section with that info. Benefits section can include other benefits: holidays, sick leave, personal leave, bereavement, Section 125/403B match, tax sheltered annuity match, EAP, retirement contribution. Schedule: we have hours per day, days per year, work year approx 181 days, calendar Aug-June. So we can have Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's structure:

  About the role

  That seems fine.

  Responsibilities

  We need to list essential job functions and special responsibilities as list items. We have a long list; we should include all bullet points as
• . Ensure we capture all. Let's extract list from "Essential Job Functions" paragraph: It's a sentence with many items separated by periods. We'll split into items. List: - Assists in implementing classroom learning exercises planned by the MAPS+ Teacher. - Works directly with special needs students to provide transition programs, adaptive strategies, life-skills practice, and remedial work. - Assists in providing for the nutritional, health, and communications needs of special needs students. - Assists in the physical management of special needs MAPS+ students, including lifting, moving, positioning, and restraining. - Assists special needs MAPS+ students with essential bodily functions, including feeding, toileting, diapering, and catheterizing, as well as implementing medical protocols. - Escorts and supervises special needs students in various non-classroom settings. - Oversees group activity in the classroom, including supervision of the whole class for short periods. - Assists small groups or individuals with skill reinforcement or lesson assignments. - Presents teacher-designed subject matter through various methods. - Coordinates daily activities and instruction as directed. - Assists in proctoring assessments and maintaining student records. - Supervises student gathering points (playgrounds, cafeteria, bus stops, hallways). - Assists in classroom set-up and maintenance of materials and supplies. - Corrects student work. - Distributes instructional materials. - Confers with teaching staff or parents about student progress. - Assists in ordering, preparing, and administering instructional materials. - Assists the MAPS+ classroom teacher in preparing for IEP meetings and tracking IEP data and may be required to participate in IEP meetings, 504 meetings, and other staff meetings. - Assists in behavioral management. - Accompanies students on school bus routes. - Assists with other classroom duties as directed. - Performs clerical duties (word processing, phone coverage, public interface) including but not limited to documenting health-related procedures observations and incidents. - Reports safety, sanitary, and fire hazards immediately. - Complies with District policies and procedures. - Individuals may at times perform other duties as assigned which could include work in other functional areas to cover absences or relief, to equalize peak work periods, or to otherwise balance the workload. Also "Special Responsibilities:" list: Provides assistance to students with a range of critical functions, including toileting, feeding, implementing necessary medical protocols, specialized therapies, and behavioral interventions. We can include that as an item. We'll combine.

  Requirements

  maybe "Required Qualifications". Use heading Requirements? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose Requirements for qualifications. We'll include both required qualifications and maybe also note "Must possess a high school diploma or equivalent (may be waived)". We'll list as
  . List: - High school diploma or equivalent (may be waived by the school district). - One of the following: - Associate's degree from an accredited institution - Completion of two years of post-high school study - Passing score on the District's assessment of reading, writing, and math skills - General knowledge of English language arts and mathematics - Completion of student restraint training within 30 days of hire - Willingness to participate in training and certification (e.g., CPI, First Aid, Ukeru, epipen) - Must pass a criminal background check. - Basic computer skills for data entry, documentation, and communication. We need to keep the structure; maybe nested lists? But we can just flatten. Better to keep as
  • for each bullet; for the "one of the following" we can have a sublist. We'll do:
    • High school diploma or equivalent (may be waived by the school district).
    • One of the following:
      • Associate's degree from an accredited institution
      • Completion of two years of post-high school study
      • Passing score on the District's assessment of reading, writing, and math skills
      • General knowledge of English language arts and mathematics
      • Completion of student restraint training within 30 days of hire
      • Willingness to participate in training and certification (e.g., CPI, First Aid, Ukeru, epipen)
    • Must pass a criminal background check.
    • Basic computer skills for data entry, documentation, and communication.
    That's fine.

    Skills

    maybe we can list basic computer skills etc. But we already included computer skills in qualifications. Could also list "General knowledge of English language arts and mathematics" etc. But we might not need separate Skills if covered. However instruction says we can include Skills section if posting has real specific content. The posting mentions "General knowledge of English language arts and mathematics" and "Basic computer skills". Could make Skills section with those. But we already have them in qualifications; maybe better to keep qualifications only and not duplicate. However we need to preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay but not required. To avoid redundancy, we could put computer skills and English/math knowledge under Skills, and keep qualifications focusing on education/experience etc. Let's decide. We have qualifications: high school diploma, one of the list (associate's, two years post-high, assessment, general knowledge of ELA/Math, restraint training, willingness to participate in training). Those include knowledge and training. Skills could be basic computer skills. Thus we can have:

    Qualifications

    (education/experience) and

    Skills

    (computer skills, ELA/Math knowledge). But the instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Qualifications and Skills separate. Let's do:

    Qualifications

    • High school diploma or equivalent (may be waived by the school district).
    • One of the following:
      • Associate's degree from an accredited institution
      • Completion of two years of post-high school study
      • Passing score on the District's assessment of reading, writing, and math skills
      • Completion of student restraint training within 30 days of hire
