North Beach Elementary - Special Education Assistant (K-2 Focus) - 1.0 FTE

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings present: Overview Of Position (maybe not a heading? It's a heading but we need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. 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 questions (application instructions) which we should remove (application instructions). Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections except maybe Salary Schedule (pay) and benefits mention. We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. There's "Salary Schedule Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01". That's vague, no actual numbers. It says "Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01". That's not specific salary info, just a reference. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting mentions benefits: "Seattle Public Schools benefits are administered by the Washington State Healthcare Authority (HCA) under the School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB). Click Eligibility for benefits is determined by the number of hours employees are anticipated to work during the school year (September 1 through August 31). Any employee who is scheduled to work 630 hours or more in a year is eligible for benefits." That's specific benefit eligibility info. So we can include a Benefits section with that info. Pay: not specific numbers, just reference to salary schedule. Should we include Pay? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states "Salary Schedule Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01". That's not stating actual pay, just a reference. Likely we should NOT include Pay section because no actual pay details. Similarly Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Pay and Schedule. We need sections: About the role (maybe Overview Of Position maps to About the role). Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Other Functions?). Requirements (maybe Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities). Qualifications (Education Typical Qualifications, YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE, Preferred Experience). Skills (maybe part of Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities). Benefits (as described). We should not repeat job title as heading. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details from each section. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what constitutes a list. Many sentences are separate duties; we could turn each duty into

• . The Essential Functions list many items each starting with a verb. We'll make a
  with each duty as
  • . Similarly Other Functions is just one sentence; could be

    or

  • . We'll treat as

    . Reporting Relationships: prose. Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: includes Knowledge, Skills, Ability sections each with bullet-like lists. We'll make subheadings? Not allowed to create new headings beyond the allowed set? We can only use

    for section headings; we could still use

    ? Not specified. Safer to keep as

    with lists using

    . We'll separate Knowledge, Skills, Ability each as
    maybe preceded by

    heading? But we cannot add extra headings; we could just put

    Knowledge:

    then
    . That's okay. Responsibility: prose. Working Environment: prose. Education Typical Qualifications: list of options; we can make
    . YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE: "None specified." That's filler; we should not include a heading with filler. So we omit that section. Preferred Experience: "Experience working with children." That's specific; we can include under Qualifications maybe as a
    • . Certificates & Licenses: list. Continuing Education/Training: list. Clearances: list. Benefits: we have paragraph about eligibility. We must remove application instructions (the Yes/No questions). Also remove the link to SPS Special Education Department website (the URL is empty? It shows a link with no href). We'll drop that. We must not repeat job title as heading. Now construct HTML. Start with

      About the role

      then

      Overview Of Position This position is assigned to the Focus service pathway.

Special Education Assistant job duties vary according to the school/program needs, i.e., generalist, severe/profound, behavior disorder, hearing impaired, autism, etc.

      But we removed the link text; maybe we keep the sentence but remove the link? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not boilerplate; it's a reference. We could keep the sentence but remove the actual link markup? Since we are outputting plain HTML, we could just keep the text without the link. The original: "please follow this link to the SPS Special Education Department website: ." The colon then empty. We'll just keep "please follow this link to the SPS Special Education Department website." Might be okay. Now Responsibilities: combine Essential Functions and Other Functions? We'll make a section Responsibilities with

      Responsibilities
