Instructional Assistant - Bay Lane Elementary School
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Essential Job Functions (may include any of the following) which is responsibilities. Also Physical Requirements (maybe part of qualifications/requirements). Qualifications list. Also maybe "Skills" could be derived from abilities like communication, computer, etc. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present. So we should not include those sections. Also we should not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO statements, discrimination statements, Title IX, etc. Also remove "Other duties as assigned". Keep substantive info.
We need to preserve all substantive information: essential job functions list, physical requirements, qualifications list. Also maybe "Must have DPI Spec. Ed. Program Aide certification or be willing to become certified." etc.
We need to format with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide sections: Perhaps "About the role" could be a brief prose summarizing the role: "Bay Lane Elementary Instructional Assistants support special education teachers in instructional activities and supervision of students in a structured (regular education classes) and unstructured (lunchroom, playground, field trips, bus) environment." That's from first sentence. Could be considered About the role. Then Responsibilities: list of essential job functions. Then Requirements/Qualifications: maybe combine? But we have separate sections: Qualifications and Skills. The qualifications list includes many items: High School diploma, dependable driving record, positive attitude, certification, flexible hours, physically capable, communication skills, computer use, minimum supervision, confidentiality. Also physical requirements could be under Requirements or maybe a separate "Physical Requirements" but we don't have that heading allowed; we could put under Qualifications or Requirements. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Requirements for physical requirements and maybe some core requirements. Qualifications for education/certification etc. Skills for communication, computer, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps better: Use Responsibilities for essential job functions. Use Qualifications for education, certification, driving record, etc. Use Skills for communication, computer, teamwork, etc. Use Requirements for physical requirements (lifting, walking, etc). That seems reasonable.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content.
Let's extract:
Essential Job Functions (may Include Any Of The Following):
- Bay Lane Elementary Instructional Assistants support special education teachers in instructional activities and supervision of students in a structured (regular education classes) and unstructured (lunchroom, playground, field trips, bus) environment.
- May assist in behavior management strategies and supports.

- May work with wheelchair or ambulatory students in small groups or on an individual basis, and may be required to lift or restrain students weighing up to 80 pounds.
- Other duties as assigned by the administrator or the classroom teacher.
We should keep "Other duties as assigned" maybe but it's generic; could keep but it's not specific. Might be okay.
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to walk a minimum of 2 miles per day.
- Ability to bend, stand, and stoop multiple times per day.
- Ability to place students weighing up to 80 pounds in Crisis Prevention Intervention approved protective holds as defined by Act 125.
- Ability to maneuver students weighing up to 80 pounds in wheeled mobility equipment (wheelchair, stroller, etc).
- Ability to position or support an assisted transfer of a student weighing up to 80 pounds.

- Good oral and written communication skills.
- Ability to use computer equipment and other assistive technology devices.
- Ability to work with a minimum of supervision.
- Ability to maintain confidentiality.
We could split some of these into Skills: communication, computer, teamwork, confidentiality, etc. But we already have many under Qualifications. Perhaps better: Qualifications: education, certification, driving record, flexible hours. Skills: communication, computer, teamwork, confidentiality. Requirements: physical requirements.
Let's decide:
About the role: short prose summarizing the role (first sentence). Could be: "Bay Lane Elementary Instructional Assistants support special education teachers in instructional activities and supervision of students in structured (regular education classes) and unstructured (lunchroom, playground, field trips, bus) environments."
Responsibilities: list of essential job functions (excluding the first sentence maybe). Could include assisting behavior management, self-help skills, health care procedures, working with wheelchair/ambulatory students, lifting/restraining up to 80 lbs, other duties as assigned.
Requirements: physical requirements list.
Qualifications: education, certification, driving record, flexible hours.
Skills: communication (oral/written, get along with staff/students/parents), computer/assistive tech, ability to work with minimal supervision, maintain confidentiality.
We must ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract each piece and assign.
About the role: "Bay Lane Elementary Instructional Assistants support special education teachers in instructional activities and supervision of students in a structured (regular education classes) and unstructured (lunchroom, playground, field trips, bus) environment."
Responsibilities (bullet list):
- Assist in behavior management strategies and supports.
- Assist with self-help skills (toilet needs, personal hygiene, feeding, GI tube feeding, dressing, etc.).
- Assist with health care procedures (charting and dispensation of medications, tube feeding, suctioning, etc.).
- Work with wheelchair or ambulatory students in small groups or on an individual basis.
- Lift or restrain students weighing up to 80 pounds.
- Other duties as assigned by the administrator or the classroom teacher.
Requirements (physical):
- Ability to walk a minimum of 2 miles per day.
- Ability to bend, stand, and stoop multiple times per day.
- Ability to place students weighing up to 80 pounds in Crisis Prevention Intervention approved protective holds as defined by Act 125.
- Ability to maneuver students weighing up to 80 pounds in wheeled mobility equipment (wheelchair, stroller, etc.).

Check for duplication: "Ability to get along and communicate well..." and "Good oral and written communication skills." Both are communication; could keep both as separate bullet points under Skills. That's fine.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We should not include any boilerplate like EEO statements, discrimination, Title IX, etc. Remove them.
