We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "General Summary", "Essential Functions", "Supervisory Responsibility", "OTHER SKILLS And ABILITIES", "Physical Demands", "Work Environment", "Evaluation", "Disclaimer Statement", "Nondiscrimination Policy". But we must remove boilerplate like EEO, nondiscrimination, disclaimer, evaluation maybe? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop Disclaimer Statement and Nondiscrimination Policy. Also maybe "Evaluation Performance of this job is evaluated annually according to Board Policy." That's not boilerplate? It's evaluation; could keep as a section? It's not a standard heading list but we could include as a for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says use those headings for sections; but we can also use other headings? It says use
under maybe "Evaluation". However the instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says use those headings for sections; but we can also use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those standard headings when applicable. But we can also have other headings? Probably we should map content to those standard headings where possible. Let's interpret: We should create sections like About the role (general summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (qualifications), Skills (other skills and abilities), Benefits (if present), Pay (if present), Schedule (if present). The posting includes Terms Of Employment: 7 Hours/185 Days Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 7). That gives schedule and pay grade but not explicit pay amount. It says "Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 7)" - that is pay info but not a specific number. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule: 7 Hours/185 Days. That's schedule. Pay: mentions salary schedule grade but not actual pay; might be considered pay info. However it's not a specific amount; but it's still pay info. The instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 7)" is not filler; it's a reference to a schedule. Could include Pay section with that text. Similarly Schedule section with "7 Hours/185 Days". Benefits: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits.
We also have "Qualifications" section: list of qualifications: high school graduate or equivalent, at least two years of study (60 semester hours) or associate's degree or higher, or passing score on ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment. Also certificates: Must have current government issued identification. That's a qualification.
We also have "Requirements" earlier: Paraprofessional Information And Hiring Requirements Lexington County School District One paraprofessionals must meet one of the following prior to their date of hire: 60 college credit hours, associate degree or higher, passing score on ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment. That's similar to qualifications. We'll combine.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's extract substantive info:
- Position Title: Instructional Assistant, 4K Kindergarten (but we do not repeat as heading)
- Department: Instructional Services
- Reports To: Principal
- FLSA Status: Non-Exempt (maybe metadata, can fold into short p)
- Qualifications: as above.
- Terms Of Employment: 7 Hours/185 Days Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 7). Terms of employment detailed... based on full time employment during school year. Conditions adjusted for part time or less than entire school year.
- General Summary: Under general supervision of a certified teacher, instruct students in academic and social skills so that the individual student needs, interests, and abilities are met. Assists in other school programs as assigned.
- Essential Functions: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We'll convert to - .
- Supervisory Responsibility: Supervision of students in both instructional and non-instructional settings.
- OTHER SKILLS And ABILITIES: list of abilities.
- Physical Demands: description.
- Work Environment: description.
- Evaluation: Performance evaluated annually according to Board Policy. Could keep as a short p under maybe "Evaluation". But not in standard headings list; but we could still include as
Evaluation
with p. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. However we can still use Evaluation as a heading; it's not prohibited. Safer to include only those standard headings that have content. Evaluation may be considered not required; we could omit as it's somewhat boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's about evaluation. Might keep.
But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep evaluation statement.
