EducationFull-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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Purpose: description: "Provides support and assists in coordinating instructional programs relating to special education students and their Individual Education Plans (IEP). Monitors programs with students with disabilities, maintains confidentiality, and complies with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, guidelines, and procedures as they relate to the special education program throughout the district. Maintains an environment conducive to learning."
That could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". But we have separate sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe education/training), Skills (KSAs), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what content goes where.
We have:
- Position Purpose: overview.
- MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: (See Education and Training for requirements for TITLE I schools) - includes KSAs list.
- KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES (KSAs): list of abilities.
- Education: EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND EXPERIENCE ALL SCHOOLS: High school diploma or GED. Also Title I specifics.
- CERTIFICATION AND LICENSE REQUIREMENTS: CPI certification.
- PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: CPR and First Aid certification; Experience working with or assisting individuals with special needs.
- ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: list of duties.
- ADDITIONAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES- SATA Only: specific.
- Work Environment/Physical Requirements: description.
- EFFECTIVE DATE: 3/2025 (metadata, maybe drop).
- DISCLAIMER: boilerplate, drop.
- Also there is WORK WEEK SCHEDULE: Monday-Friday (occasional evenings and weekends/ Workday must not exceed more than 40 hours per week and begins at least 30 minutes prior to the instructional day for students.) That's schedule info.
- PAY GRADE: Noncertified Grade 21 FLSA STATUS Nonexempt ELIGIBILITY FOR EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT No. That's pay grade info but not actual pay amount. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state PAY GRADE and WORK WEEK SCHEDULE. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections with that info. Benefits: not mentioned, so omit.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role (Position Purpose)
- Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Responsibilities + Additional Duties SATA)
- Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications? Actually Requirements could be minimum qualifications? But we also have Qualifications (education/training) and Skills (KSAs). We need to follow the headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to map content:
- About the role: Position Purpose paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities + Additional Duties SATA (maybe combine into a list).
- Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications? But Minimum Qualifications includes KSAs list; but we have separate Skills for KSAs. Actually KSAs are knowledge, skills, abilities. So Skills section should contain KSAs. Requirements could be the minimum qualifications like education/training/experience? But we also have Qualifications heading for education/training/experience. Hmm.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The headings are predefined; we must use them if we have content. We can decide:
- About the role: Position Purpose.
- Responsibilities: Duties.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (maybe the KSAs? but we have Skills for KSAs). Actually Minimum Qualifications includes KSAs list; but the KSAs are knowledge, skills, abilities. So maybe Requirements = Minimum Qualifications (the bullet list of KSAs). Skills = maybe the specific technical skills like Microsoft Office, Google Apps? But KSAs already include that. Hmm.
Better: Use Requirements for the minimum qualifications (education, training, experience) and maybe certification requirements. Use Qualifications for preferred qualifications? But the heading list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. Could treat Requirements as mandatory qualifications (education, experience, certification) and Qualifications as preferred qualifications. Skills as KSAs.
Let's map:
- Requirements: Education (HS diploma/GED, Title I specifics), Certification (CPI), maybe also eligibility? We'll include those.
- Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (CPR/First Aid, experience with special needs).
- Skills: KSAs list (knowledge of MS Office, Google Apps, instructional delivery methods, etc.)
- About the role: Position Purpose.
- Responsibilities: Essential duties + Additional duties SATA.
- Pay: Pay Grade Noncertified Grade 21, FLSA Status Nonexempt, Eligibility for Employment Contract No.
- Schedule: Work Week Schedule Monday-Friday (occasional evenings and weekends) etc.
- Benefits: none -> omit.
- Also we have Work Environment/Physical Requirements; maybe could be part of Responsibilities? But we could include as part of Responsibilities or maybe as a separate section? Not in headings list. Could incorporate into Responsibilities as a paragraph.
We must not invent sections. So we will not add a Work Environment heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment, using
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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info.

We need to output only HTML fragment, using for each section heading, then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details.
