General Aide (26-27 SY) - J. Haley ES
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to extract content.
Given posting: It's a job description for General Aide. It includes sections: Qualifications (Minimum Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience). General Responsibilities (with subcategories: MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES, Instructional Strategies, Classroom And Campus Management And Organization, Professional Growth And Development, Policy Implementation). Also Equipment Used, Supervisory Responsibilities, Working Conditions (Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors, Safety). Also note about ADA etc.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info. So we should not include those sections.
We have Qualifications: we can put under Qualifications
with list.
We have Skills: maybe combine Special Knowledge/Skills and other skill items.
We have Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Education/Certification and Experience? But Qualifications already covers education/experience. Could treat Requirements as separate? The instruction: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. We can decide to put Qualifications and Skills separate. Requirements maybe not needed if we already have Qualifications covering education/experience. But we could also put Requirements for things like "Ability to work well with children" etc. However those are skills.
Better: Use Qualifications for education/certification and experience. Use Skills for knowledge/skills. Use Responsibilities for duties.
We also have About the role: maybe a brief summary? Not explicitly given but we could infer from job title? But we should not invent. The posting does not have a separate "About the role" paragraph. So we should not include About the role heading.
Thus we will output sections: Qualifications, Skills, Responsibilities.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to extract lists.
Qualifications section content:
- Minimum Education/Certification: Educational Aide I Paraprofessional Certificate, High School Diploma or GED, At least 60 college semester hours are preferred
- Special Knowledge/Skills: Ability to work well with children, Ability to use/learn basic computer applications, Knowledge of general office equipment, Effective written and oral communication, organization and interpersonal skills, Proficient skills in basic math, Bilingual English/Spanish speaking preferred
- Experience: One year clerical experience or equivalent experience preferred, Experience working with children/students and parents
We could combine into a single list under Qualifications? But we need to preserve detail. Could break into subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are the predefined ones. So we can put all qualification items in a
with each bullet containing the detail.
Similarly Skills: maybe we separate knowledge/skills from Qualifications? But we already included them. Could treat Skills as separate list: Ability to work well with children, Ability to use/learn basic computer applications, Knowledge of general office equipment, Effective written and oral communication, organization and interpersonal skills, Proficient skills in basic math, Bilingual English/Spanish speaking preferred.
But then Qualifications would only have education/certification and experience. However the instruction says we should not repeat content; we need to preserve all substantive info. If we split, we must ensure no duplication. Let's decide: Qualifications: Minimum Education/Certification and Experience. Skills: Special Knowledge/Skills.
Thus:
Qualifications:
- Educational Aide I Paraprofessional Certificate
- High School Diploma or GED
- At least 60 college semester hours are preferred
- One year clerical experience or equivalent experience preferred
- Experience working with children/students and parents
Skills:
- Ability to work well with children
- Ability to use/learn basic computer applications
- Knowledge of general office equipment
- Effective written and oral communication, organization and interpersonal skills
- Proficient skills in basic math
- Bilingual English/Spanish speaking preferred
Now Responsibilities: we need to capture all duties under General Responsibilities and subcategories.

Also there is a repeated statement about ADA etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The ADA statement is likely falls under legal boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the repeated "The foregoing statements describe the general purpose and responsibilities assigned to this job and are not an exhaustive list..." appears twice; we should keep only one instance? It's substantive? It's a disclaimer about not exhaustive list; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of job description. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. We can keep one copy.
We need to preserve all substantive information; the disclaimer about not exhaustive list is substantive? It's a typical disclaimer; but maybe we can keep it as a paragraph under Responsibilities? However it's not a duty. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed to remove. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This disclaimer is not exactly those; it's a general statement. I'd keep it once.
We also have "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." That's ADA related; could be considered legal boilerplate; maybe remove. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the ADA accommodation line.
Thus we will keep the disclaimer about not exhaustive list once.
Now we need to format Responsibilities as - for any list of duties. So we will put all duty bullets under a single
. However we have many categories; we could keep them as separate under each heading? But only allowed headings are the predefined; we cannot add subheadings. So we will just have one for Responsibilities containing all duty items.
We must ensure we don't lose any duty. Let's compile list:
From MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:
1. Perform receptionist/clerical duties in the office or designated location as assigned.
2. Maintain confidentiality of information.
3. Assist in the maintenance of administrative records and preparation of reports as required.
