Instructional Aide II - Horizon Middle School (2026-27 School Year)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Instructional Aide II.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present).
We must remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's craft sections:
About the role: purpose statement paragraph.
Responsibilities: essential functions list.
Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Qualifications (Skills, Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, Experience, Education, Certification, Clearances, FLSA Status, Salary Grade). But we have separate sections for Skills, Qualifications, etc. The instruction says use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We can treat:
- About the role: purpose statement.
- Responsibilities: essential functions.
- Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications (Skills, Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, Experience, Education, Certification, Clearances, FLSA Status). But we also have separate Skills and Qualifications sections. Might be overlapping. However we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide what goes where.
We have content for Skills (list of skills under Minimum Qualifications: Skills). Also Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, Experience, Education, Certification, Clearances, FLSA Status, Salary Grade.
We could put Skills section for the Skills bullet list. Qualifications section for Education, Experience, Certification, Clearances maybe. Requirements could be a general section for other requirements like FLSA status, Salary Grade? But Salary Grade could go to Pay.
Better: Use sections as:
- About the role: purpose statement.
- Responsibilities: essential functions.
- Skills: list of skills (under Minimum Qualifications Skills).
- Qualifications: Education, Experience, Certification, Clearances.
- Requirements: maybe Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, FLSA Status? But those are also qualifications. However we can treat Requirements as the "Minimum Qualifications" overall (including Skills, Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, Experience, Education, Certification, Clearances, FLSA Status). But then we would duplicate.
Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine many into Requirements and Skills maybe.
But we have defined list of allowed headings; we can use any subset.
Let's think: The posting includes:
- Purpose Statement (About the role)
- Essential Functions (Responsibilities)
- Minimum Qualifications: Skills, Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, Experience, Education, Certification, Clearances, FLSA Status, Salary Grade.
We could make:
- About the role (purpose)
- Responsibilities (essential functions)
- Requirements (Minimum Qualifications) - maybe include subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond h3. Could use
with subpoints.
But we also have Skills separate list; we could embed within Requirements.
But we also have Pay: Salary Grade SI.
Schedule: follows school calendar, full-time/part-time.
Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule.
We could omit Skills and Qualifications as separate if we incorporate into Requirements.
Check instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not mandatory to use all. So we can choose.
Thus produce:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
... maybe a paragraph summarizing? But we need to preserve all substantive info, not summarize away detail. So we need to list details. Could use
- for each requirement item.
Thus we can list each bullet: Skills, Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, Experience, Education, Certification, Clearances, FLSA Status, Salary Grade (though Salary Grade maybe Pay). But we can include Salary Grade in Requirements or Pay.
Better to put Salary Grade in Pay section.
Thus Requirements will include Skills, Knowledge, Abilities, Responsibility, Work Environment, Experience, Education, Certification, Clearances, FLSA Status.
We need to preserve all details: list each.
