Instructional Paraprofessional, Special Education (PK-12) - Recruitment Pool **May be Hiring Incentive Eligible**
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when 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, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not include duplicated lines. Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes pay ranges, days per year, extended service days, benefit caps, incentive bonuses. So we have Pay, Schedule (days per year), Benefits (benefit caps), maybe also Incentive bonuses could be part of Pay or separate? Probably include Pay section with salary ranges and incentive bonuses. Schedule section with days per year and extended service days. Benefits section with benefit caps. Requirements/Qualifications: education, experience, certificates, etc. Responsibilities? Not given explicitly; maybe we can infer duties? The posting doesn't list responsibilities explicitly. So we should not create Responsibilities section if no specific content. Similarly Skills maybe not given. About the role maybe we can summarize? But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can include a short paragraph describing the role based on title? That might be considered inventing. Safer to omit About the role if no explicit content. However we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes qualifications, pay, schedule, benefits, incentive bonuses, additional requirements. So we can have sections: Qualifications (or Requirements), Pay, Schedule, Benefits. Possibly also "Additional Requirements" could be part of Qualifications. We'll combine.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information: list each bullet.

- Experience working with school age students
- High School Diploma or GED or CHSPE Certificate

We need to keep hiring incentive details (that's not application instruction). Keep the part about submitting copy of AA degree etc. That's a requirement.
We need to preserve all substantive info, but we can format as lists.

We should not include About the role, Responsibilities, Skills sections because no specific content.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have captured all.
Make sure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, non-discrimination, etc. We removed.
Make sure we didn't include job title as heading. We didn't.
Make sure we didn't include Job ID/requisition numbers. Not present.
Make sure we didn't include application instructions: we removed "All applicants must apply online through Edjoin." Good.
Make sure we didn't include the line about "All applicants must meet the minimum qualifications..." we kept that as part of qualifications? Actually we kept "All applicants must submit a copy of an AA degree..." but not the line about meeting minimum qualifications. That line is somewhat generic but still substantive. Should we keep? It says: "All applicants must meet the minimum qualifications (i.e., experience, education, etc.) as listed on the job description in order to be considered for an interview." That's basically a restatement; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of the posting. Might be okay to keep as a note. However it's somewhat generic; but it's not a list of specific qualifications. Might be considered filler. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." This line is not metadata but a condition. Could be kept as a paragraph under Qualifications. But we already have qualifications list; we could add a
that says "All applicants must meet the minimum qualifications (experience, education, etc.) as listed in the job description to be considered for an interview." That's not inventing; it's from posting. Let's include as a

Also we have "Other (All applicants must submit a copy of an AA degree, transcripts showing at least 48 units OR a proficiency certificate showing that you have met the Paraprofessional requirement.)" We already captured that as a qualification bullet. Good.
Now ensure we didn't miss any incentive bonus details: we captured $1,000 and $2,000.
Check for any other specifics: "Classified full-time new hires have a district benefit cap of $14,400 annually for any employee or employee + 1 dependent or $17,400 annually for any employee + family (2 or more dependents)." We captured.
