Educational Assistant (K-4)

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Job Summary, Essential Functions, Qualifications. Also includes Compensation, Benefits, Schedule (Hours, Duty Days). Also location, assignment year. We need headings:

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include. We have: - About the role: could be Job Summary (description). So we can have

About the role

with

Job Summary...

- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. So

Responsibilities

with

• each essential function. - Requirements: Qualifications (education, certifications, experience). So

  Requirements

  with

  or

  ? Qualifications are prose list; we can use
  • . - Skills: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications: strong communication, interpersonal, flexibility, etc. But we should not invent; we can include a Skills section if posting has specific skill statements. The qualifications include many ability statements; those could be considered skills. But we already have Requirements covering qualifications; maybe we can combine. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Skills maybe not needed. - Benefits: posting lists Non-Exempt Benefits: Full Benefits including paid sick and personal leave, Health, Dental, Vision, Life, LTD, PERA Pension & 403b. So we can have

    Benefits

    with
    • each. - Pay: Compensation: $16.50-$17.15 per hour (Based on education and experience; wages outlined in Educational Assistants contract located on district website). So we can have

      Pay

      with

      . - Schedule: Hours: 8 hours per day; Duty Days: 173 duty days per school year. Also Assignment: 2026-27 School Year - Ongoing. So we can have

      Schedule

      with

      describing hours and duty days, maybe also assignment year. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. So we can include location and assignment year maybe in About the role or a short paragraph. We must remove boilerplate: APPLY ONLINE lines, JobID, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from essential functions, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine Job Summary plus location and assignment year maybe. Job Summary: "The Special Education Paraprofessional will assist and carry out the goals, objectives and adaptations in the individual education plan of special needs students in various settings; classrooms, physical education, lunchroom, bus loading area, cafeteria and common spaces." Location: Riverside Elementary School Assignment: 2026-27 School Year - Ongoing We can put that in a paragraph. Responsibilities: list essential functions. There are many bullet points; we need to preserve all. We'll create

      • for each essential function bullet. The essential functions list is a long paragraph with many items separated by periods. We need to split into sensible items. The original list: "Carrying out the duties and responsibilities outlined in a student's individual education plan.Assist student(s) in individual and group settings whether in the resource room or inclusive educational setting. This could include in the community or volunteer setting.Provide specialized instruction/interventions/accommodations as outlined in the IEP.Team with the classroom teacher and/or special education teacher to deliver classroom instruction.Demonstrate and model appropriate developmental and behavioral skills through play or interaction with the child.Assist the individual student in self-help and independent living skills – this can include the following 1.
