Instructional Assistant Special Education I - Self-Contained - Visually Impaired
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Let's parse the posting:
- Intro: "Forbes named Mesa Public Schools in their list of Best Employers in Arizona for multiple years. East Valley Tribune names Mesa Public Schools as Best Place to Work in East Valley for multiple years." This is about the employer, could be "About the role"? Actually it's about the organization. Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe a separate section like "About the employer". But only allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put that info under About the role.
- Employment Type: Full-time (32.5 hours per week) -> This is schedule info? Could go under Schedule (if we have schedule). Also Base Hourly: $17.57 -> Pay. Class/Calendar: A11b, 9.25 months -> maybe schedule? Could be schedule details.
- Benefits: Sick leave, holidays, retirement matched through the Arizona State Retirement System, health, and life insurance -> Benefits section.
- Performance Pay: Available annually -> Pay? Could be part of Pay.
- New Hire Experience: 1% of the base hourly rate granted for each year of verified like experience (within ten years) beyond the requirement, up to a ten-year maximum -> Pay (experience increment).
- New Hire Education: 1% of the base hourly rate awarded for an AA or higher degree if not required for the position -> Pay (education increment).
- Job Summary: ... -> Could be About the role.
- Key Responsibilities: list bullet points -> Responsibilities section.
- Required Qualifications: Associate’s Degree or 60 college credit hours required at time of hire OR pass the ParaPro Test provided by the district free of charge; Experience working with children -> Qualifications section.
- Skills & Competencies: list -> Skills section.
- Work Environment & Physical Requirements: description -> Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could fit under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role includes work environment. But we have to preserve all substantive info; we can include it under About the role as a paragraph.
- Equal Opportunity Employer Statement: remove (boilerplate). Also "Applicants and employees may contact Human Resources to request reasonable accommodations..." also boilerplate; remove.
We must not include sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience" etc. We have actual content for Pay, Schedule, Benefits, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role: include Forbes/East Valley accolades, Job Summary, Work Environment & Physical Requirements maybe.
- Responsibilities: list of Key Responsibilities.
- Qualifications: Required Qualifications (Associate's degree or 60 credit hours OR ParaPro test; Experience working with children).
- Skills: Skills & Competencies list.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: Base Hourly, Performance Pay, New Hire Experience, New Hire Education.
- Schedule: Employment Type (Full-time 32.5 hours per week), Class/Calendar: A11b, 9.25 months.
We must ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content.

We could make
for Pay? The instruction says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not a list but could be presented as

as list of pay details. The rule says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid using
for other things, but better to follow: only for those categories. So we should use for Pay details, maybe separate sentences.
