We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove generic statements like "commensurate with experience" etc. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract relevant content. The posting: - Description: Aspire Public Schools is building a pool of exceptional candidates for current and future opportunities. This posting represents a pool of candidates for SY26/27. If you’re considering applying, we highly encourage you to upload any relevant documents you possess. This proactive step will significantly expedite the credentialing process. Our credentialing department will be able to swiftly verify your status and provide any necessary assistance throughout your credentialing journey. Classified Candidates Unofficial transcripts, ParaPro assessment (Passing score of 460 or above) Keep a look out for email communication from an Aspire representative and thank you for considering Aspire! That's mostly instructions to apply; we need to remove application instructions. So we can drop that description? It's basically about applying. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we likely should not include that description. However we might keep some info about the pool? But it's basically application instructions. Probably drop. - Compensation: Aspire Public Schools is dedicated to our teammate's well-being! In addition to a competitive base salary that is benchmarked against local districts and charter schools, we offer employees exceptional benefits, including paid time off, 100% core health benefits coverage on select plans, life insurance/long-term disability, participation in a CA state retirement plan, tuition reimbursement plan, and adoption assistance program. Click here for our salary schedule for the 26-27 school year based on years of experience for this position type. Thus we have Benefits and Pay info. Benefits: paid time off, 100% core health benefits coverage on select plans, life insurance/long-term disability, participation in a CA state retirement plan, tuition reimbursement plan, adoption assistance program. Pay: competitive base salary benchmarked against local districts and charter schools; salary schedule link. We can include Pay section with mention of competitive base salary and link? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the salary schedule link? It says "Click here for our salary schedule for the 26-27 school year based on years of experience for this position type." That's a link; we can keep as text maybe. We'll include Pay section with that sentence. - About Aspire: description of Aspire Public Schools. That's about the organization, not necessarily "About the role". Could be placed under "About Aspire" but headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes "About Aspire" which is about the organization; we could map to "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could include a section "About Aspire" maybe not allowed headings list? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we could also use other headings if appropriate? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we need to fit content into those categories. "About Aspire" could go under "About the role"? Might be okay to describe the organization as part of role context. We'll put under

About the role

and include Aspire description. - GENERAL SUMMARY: The Instructional Assistant supports classroom teacher(s) in providing a high quality, personalized education program for students. S/he works during the school day and/or the after school program. The ideal candidate for this position is a recent college graduate who has an interest in pursuing a career as an educator. That's a summary; could go under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably under About the role. - ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: list many duties. We'll put under

Responsibilities

as a
  • list. - Qualifications Competencies: list of competencies, knowledge, abilities, etc. Also Minimum educational level, Physical requirements, Experience required, Work authorization requirements. That's qualifications. We'll put under

    Qualifications

    maybe also Skills? The list includes competencies like knowledge of child cognitive development, ability to implement guidelines, etc. Those could be Skills. But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. We need to decide where to put what. The posting has "Qualifications Competencies:" then list. Then "Minimum educational level:" etc. Then "Physical requirements:" etc. Then "Experience required:" etc. Then "Work authorization requirements:" etc. Also later "WORK ENVIRONMENT". That could be part of Qualifications or maybe separate but we don't have a heading for work environment; we could omit or include under Qualifications? Probably we can include under Qualifications as a bullet. We also have "Skills" heading possible; we could extract skills like "Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate with colleagues, parents and community". That's a skill. Also "Knowledge of child cognitive development and different learning styles" is knowledge. Could go under Skills. We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, but we have both headings allowed; maybe better to have Qualifications and Skills separate if there is enough content. Let's see content: Qualifications Competencies: - Knowledge of child cognitive development and different learning styles - Ability and willingness to implement Aspire Instructional Guidelines and Best Practices - Ability and willingness to reflect and improve - Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate with colleagues, parents and community Minimum educational level: - Associate’s degree or successful completion of 48 units of college credit or passing of Paraprofessional Test - Bachelor’s degree in Education, Teaching, or related field preferred Physical requirements: - Stand, walk or bend over, kneel, crouch, reach overhead, grasp, push, and pull. Move, lift and/or carry up to 30 pounds to shoulder height - Repetitive use of hands (i.e. fine manipulation, simple grasping, and power grasping) - Demonstrate normal depth perception - Sitting, walking or standing for extended periods of time - Dexterity of hands and fingers to operate a computer keyboard, operate standard office equipment, and use a telephone - See and read a computer screen and printed matter with or without vision aids - Hear and understand speech at normal levels and on the telephone with or without auditory aides Experience required: - 1+ year working with students as a teacher, teacher intern, or teaching assistant preferred Work authorization requirements: - Clear the Department of Justice background screening - Authorized to work in the United States - Provide health (TB) clearance (update every four years) WORK ENVIRONMENT: - Work indoors in a standard office environment, computer lab, and/or classroom environment - Work is performed in indoor and outdoor environments - Exposure to dust, oils, and cleaning chemicals - Some exposure to childhood and other diseases in a school environment - May be required to work outside of typical work days and office hours to meet operational deadlines Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. We could put WORK ENVIRONMENT under Qualifications or maybe under a separate heading like "Work Environment" but not in allowed list. Could omit? But we should preserve all substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include under Qualifications as a subbullet? Or we could create a section "Work Environment" using

    Work Environment

    though not in examples but maybe allowed? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exhaustive list. So we could use other headings if needed. But to be safe, we could incorporate work environment into Qualifications or Responsibilities? Probably Qualifications is fine. We also have "Requirements" heading possible; we could put Minimum educational level, Experience required, Work authorization requirements under Requirements. And Skills could be the competencies list. Qualifications could be education + physical requirements? Hmm. Let's decide: - About the role: include Aspire description + general summary. - Responsibilities: essential duties list. - Requirements: Minimum educational level, Experience required, Work authorization requirements. - Qualifications: Knowledge/competencies list (knowledge of child cognitive development, ability to implement guidelines, ability to reflect, communication skills). Also maybe Physical requirements? Could be under Qualifications as well. - Skills: maybe we could separate physical requirements as Skills? But physical requirements are not skills. Better to put physical requirements under Qualifications. - Benefits: list benefits. - Pay: competitive base salary + salary schedule link. - Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section because no specific schedule info. The posting does not mention schedule specifics. So omit. We must not include sections with filler like "not specified". So we omit Schedule. Now we need to ensure we remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Remove EEO STATEMENT paragraph. Also remove "This position description intends to describe the general nature..." etc. Also remove "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." maybe that's part of work environment but we can keep? It's not boilerplate; it's substantive about accommodations. Could keep under Qualifications or Work Environment. We'll keep. Also remove "Click here for our salary schedule..." maybe we keep as text. Also remove "Keep a look out for email communication from an Aspire representative and thank you for considering Aspire!" that's application instruction; remove. Also remove "Classified Candidates Unofficial transcripts, ParaPro assessment (Passing score of 460 or above)" maybe that's part of application instructions; remove. Also remove "If you’re considering applying, we highly encourage you to upload any relevant documents you possess. This proactive step will significantly expedite the credentialing process. Our credentialing department will be able to swiftly verify your status and provide any necessary assistance throughout your credentialing journey." Remove. Also remove "Description Aspire Public Schools is building a pool of exceptional candidates for current and future opportunities. This posting represents a pool of candidates for SY26/27." Remove. Now compile HTML. We'll produce:
