Lincoln High - Special Education Assistant (Extended Resource) - 1.0 FTE

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview Of Position, Essential Functions, Other Functions, Reporting Relationships, Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, Responsibility, Working Environment, Education Typical Qualifications, YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE, Preferred Experience, Certificates & Licenses, Continuing Education/Training, Clearances, Seattle Public Schools benefits..., Salary Schedule..., then a bunch of application questions (which we must remove). Also we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to map content to these headings appropriately. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. We must not repeat the job title as heading. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have overview (About the role). Essential Functions could be Responsibilities. Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities could be Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could split: Requirements (knowledge), Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (skills). Responsibility section maybe Responsibilities? But we already have Responsibilities for essential functions. There's also a separate "Responsibility" section about supervision etc. Could combine. Working Environment could be maybe not a standard heading; but we could include as part of Responsibilities? Not in list. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Working Environment into Responsibilities or maybe omit if not fitting headings. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit details. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could add a section like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings list? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we could use others? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we must map all content into those sections. If some info doesn't fit, we could still include under closest heading. Thus we need sections: About the role (overview). Responsibilities (essential functions + other functions + reporting relationships + responsibility + working environment). Requirements (maybe knowledge). Qualifications (education, experience). Skills (skills). Benefits (benefits info). Pay (salary schedule). Schedule (maybe not present; we have no schedule info, so we should NOT create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule, so we omit Schedule section. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
