  • . Requirements: maybe "Physical Demands" and "Special Requirements". Could be "Requirements". Also "Job Specific Information" includes wage range, benefits link. Pay: we have wage range $26.23-$40.17 per hour based on years of service. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: we have Part-time, Working Months 10, Shift Day. So schedule info. Benefits: we have link to benefits but no detail; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "For information about benefits, please follow the link below." That's not stating benefits, just a link. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not state benefits, just link. So we should not include Benefits section. Qualifications: we have Education, Training, And Experience section with detailed requirements. That's qualifications. Also Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities section. Could combine into Qualifications and Skills? The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide where to put each piece. We have Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of knowledge and abilities. That's Skills section. Education, Training, And Experience: that's Qualifications. Physical Demands and Special Requirements: could be Requirements. Also we have "Job Specific Information" includes wage range (Pay) and benefits link (skip). Also we have "Job School Instructional Support Job Grade 15-16 Organization Gaithersburg High School Primary Location Gaithersburg Schedule Part-time Working Months 10 Shift Day Job Job Posting Sep 17, 2026, 3:58:36 PM".

Must be able to accommodate flexible scheduling and change of location and/or program, as needed. Continues planned instructional activities during teacher's temporary absence from the classroom. This position may require specific training in order to successfully fulfill the role." Also mention "All new paraeducators are hired at a grade 15 and have the opportunity to promote to a grade 16 after successfully completing the six-month probationary period and successfully completing the required number of training hours." That's about grade progression; could be part of About the role or Qualifications? It's about hiring grade and promotion; maybe include in About the role or Qualifications. Since it's about the position classification, could be in About the role. We'll include in About the role paragraph. Also mention "The paraeducator at this level may be required to participate with students in learning activities off school grounds." etc. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's extract all substantive sentences.

It's both; but we can keep in responsibilities only. However it's also a special requirement. Might duplicate; but we should not duplicate lines. The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should not repeat same sentence in two places. We'll keep it in Responsibilities only, not in Requirements. But the special requirements also mention "Continues planned instructional activities during teacher's temporary absence from the classroom." That's same as responsibilities.
