Instructional Assistant, Life Skills Pool - Part Time

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position Type: Classified - Hours/FTE: 3.5 hrs daily/0.4375 FTE - Salary: $20.89-$27.05/hour - FLSA: Non-Exempt - Contract Status: Regular/Probationary - Start Date: Mutually agreed upon hire - Calendar: 182 days to 187 days depending on school calendar - Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision insurance, paid leaves and holidays, Public Employee Retirement (PERS). Full description of benefits available in LESD-LCEA Collective Bargaining Agreement. - Notes: Attached and below is full job description. (We can ignore notes) - Position Title: Instructional Assistant, Life Skills Program - Department/Service Area: Special Education Services - Reports To: Program Administrator, Special Education - FLSA STATUS/CLASSIFICATION: Non-exempt, Classified - Salary Placement: Instructional Assistant Salary Schedule - Position Purpose/Summary: description. - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: multiple bullet-like paragraphs. - Qualifications And Requirements: Education and Experience Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Other Requirements. - Physical Demands: see attached. - Working Environment/Conditions: description. - Work Expectations: list. - Evaluation: description. - The statements... etc. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe position purpose/summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications?), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay (salary range), Schedule (hours/FTE, calendar days). Benefits we have. About the role we have position purpose/summary. Responsibilities we have essential duties. Requirements maybe we can combine education/experience minimum qualifications as Requirements. Qualifications maybe preferred qualifications. Skills maybe knowledge, skills and abilities. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them appropriately. We need to avoid boilerplate: things like "The statements contained herein reflect general details..." maybe that's boilerplate? It's part of description but maybe considered generic. However it's substantive? It says "should not be considered an all-inclusive listing". Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the job description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The statement about not all-inclusive might be considered legal boilerplate? It's typical disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate; safer to remove it. Also "Individuals may perform other duties as assigned, including work in other functional areas to cover absences or relief, to equalize peak work periods or otherwise to balance the workload." That's also generic but maybe part of responsibilities. Might keep as part of responsibilities? It's a generic statement; but it's part of the description. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it unless it's clearly boilerplate like EEO. The "Individuals may perform other duties as assigned" is typical but still substantive? It's a statement about flexibility. I'd keep it. We also need to remove duplicated lines. There may be duplicates like "Non-exempt, Classified" appears multiple times; we should keep only once. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

We also might include Department/Service Area, Reports To etc. Those could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? The instruction only lists those headings; we should not add extra headings like Department. Could incorporate into About the role paragraph. We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: Position Title (we shouldn't repeat as heading). Department/Service Area: Special Education Services. Reports To: Program Administrator, Special Education. FLSA STATUS/CLASSIFICATION: Non-exempt, Classified (we have FLSA Non-Exempt). Salary Placement: Instructional Assistant Salary Schedule (maybe mention in Pay? Could add note). Position Purpose/Summary we covered. Essential Duties we covered. Qualifications And Requirements we split. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities we covered as Skills.

Ability to successfully complete required training related to assigned student health, personal care, safety, behavioral, or other specialized supports. Ability to successfully complete required criminal history and facility background checks. First Aid/CPR certification may be required based on assignment. Completion of training and certification for restraint and seclusion is required for this role. Physical Demands: see attached. Working Environment/Conditions: description. Work Expectations: list. Evaluation: description. The statements... we might drop as boilerplate. Also "Individuals may perform other duties as assigned..." we kept as part of responsibilities. We need to incorporate Other Requirements, Physical Demands, Working Environment/Conditions, Work Expectations, Evaluation somewhere. Since we have no specific headings for those, we could fold them into Requirements or Skills or About the role? But we must preserve all substantive info. We could add a subsection under Requirements for "Other Requirements" maybe as a

within Requirements. But we cannot create new headings not listed; but we can add paragraphs under existing headings. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid adding other headings, but says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could still add other headings but better to stick to those. We can embed other info within those sections as paragraphs. Thus
