One to One Paraprofessional - [Horace Mann] (Anticipated Vacancy) (SY26-27)

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. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions. Keep substantive info. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "This position is an anticipated vacancy. It is expected to be vacant by 10/02/2026. However, the current incumbent has a right to rescind their retirement, leave, or resignation up until the day of the expected vacancy date." This is metadata about vacancy date. Should we include? It's not a heading; we can put in a short

maybe under About the role? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include that as a short paragraph maybe under About the role. Next: "Under the supervision of the teacher, One-to-One Paraprofessional will provide direct service to individual students and participate in the daily instruction and activities of the school, program, and class to which the student is assigned. Beyond the normal classroom activities, the duties of a One-to-One Paraprofessional correspond directly to the needs of the student. Students who require a One-to-One Paraprofessional may have disabilities/diagnoses that include pervasive developmental disorder, autism, Aspergers' Syndrome, Williams' Syndrome, physical handicaps, multiple handicaps, blindness, deafness, blind/deaf, Tourettes' Syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychiatric disorders (psychosis, schizophrenia, multiple personalities, depression), oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, conduct disorder, genetic disorders and brain injury. Students who require a One-to-One Paraprofessional may also speak a language other than English." That's description of role; could be About the role. Next line: "Reports To: Principal/Head of Schools/School-based Special Education Administrator" This is metadata; could be included under About the role or maybe as a short paragraph. Then "Responsibilities" heading: after that we have a list of duties: "Working with small groups of children instructionally, toileting, diapering, lifting and transfers, maintaining personal hygiene, assisting the school nurse in tube feedings, scribing, note taking, language systems (ASL, SEE 2, Picture Exchange System, communication boards, etc.), Braille, Applied Behavioral Analysis, behavior management, redirection, de-escalation and physical restraint. In some cases, the One-to-One Paraprofessional may be required to be a specific gender because of the nature of the work (toileting) or because of the individual history of the student. This requirement protects both the student and the One-to-one Paraprofessional. Students with One-to-One Paraprofessionals may be assigned to any school in the district including the examination schools. In these school assignments, students may be participating in advanced coursework and require assistance from a Paraprofessional. Collaborates with the classroom teacher to implement agreed-upon activities, as evidenced in daily lesson plans. Fosters open communications with parents and staff. Performs other related duties as requested by Head of School/Principal/School-based Special Education Administrator, particularly when the student is absent." We need to format as

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to break these into list items. Could be multiple sentences; we can split by commas? Better to make each duty as separate
• . Let's extract duties: - Working with small groups of children instructionally - Toileting - Diapering - Lifting and transfers - Maintaining personal hygiene - Assisting the school nurse in tube feedings - Scribing - Note taking - Language systems (ASL, SEE 2, Picture Exchange System, communication boards, etc.) - Braille - Applied Behavioral Analysis - Behavior management - Redirection - De-escalation - Physical restraint - In some cases, the One-to-One Paraprofessional may be required to be a specific gender because of the nature of the work (toileting) or because of the individual history of the student. (This is a condition; we can keep as a separate bullet) - Students with One-to-One Paraprofessionals may be assigned to any school in the district including the examination schools. - In these school assignments, students may be participating in advanced coursework and require assistance from a Paraprofessional. - Collaborates with the classroom teacher to implement agreed-upon activities, as evidenced in daily lesson plans. - Fosters open communications with parents and staff. - Performs other related duties as requested by Head of School/Principal/School-based Special Education Administrator, particularly when the student is absent. We'll include these as list items. Next: "Required Qualifications - Education: High School Diploma or GEDForty-eight (48) Credit Hours of College Coursework or an Associate's Degree, or a passing score on one of the two following Formalized Standardized Assessments: ParaPro Assessment (http://www.ets.org/parapro/ ) or WorkKeys Certificate of Proficiency for Teacher Assistants (http://www.act.org/workkeys/profcert/index.html ). Experience working with a student who is diagnosed with one or more of the mild to moderate disabilities listed above. Demonstrated experience and ability working with parents/guardians, administrators, teachers, and students. Demonstrated experience and ability in assisting with team instruction. Able to be flexible to accommodate the needs of the student and or parent/guardians. Trained in ABA Current authorization to work in the United States - Candidates must have such authorization by their first day of employmentOther qualifications will vary depending on the specific needs of the assigned student." We need to separate Required Qualifications and Qualifications sections? The posting has "Required Qualifications" then later "Qualifications - Preferred". So we can have a section "Requirements" (maybe for required qualifications) and "Qualifications" (for preferred). The instruction: use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put required qualifications under

  Requirements

  as a list. Preferred qualifications under

  Qualifications

  as a list. We need to extract required qualifications items: - High School Diploma or GED - Forty-eight (48) Credit Hours of College Coursework or an Associate's Degree - Passing score on ParaPro Assessment - Passing score on WorkKeys Certificate of Proficiency for Teacher Assistants - Experience working with a student who is diagnosed with one or more of the mild to moderate disabilities listed above. - Demonstrated experience and ability working with parents/guardians, administrators, teachers, and students. - Demonstrated experience and ability in assisting with team instruction. - Able to be flexible to accommodate the needs of the student and/or parent/guardians. - Trained in ABA - Current authorization to work in the United States (must have by first day of employment) - Other qualifications will vary depending on the specific needs of the assigned student. (This is vague; maybe we can include but it's not specific; but it's still substantive? It says "will vary". Might be considered filler? It's not a specific qualification; but it's still info. Might keep as a bullet but it's vague. The instruction: do NOT emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For qualifications, "Other qualifications will vary depending on the specific needs of the assigned student." is somewhat vague but still a statement. Might be okay to include as a bullet. Now Preferred Qualifications: "BPS values linguistic diversity and believes that candidates who speak another language bring added value to the classroom, school, and district culture and diversity. BPS is particularly interested in candidates who are fluent in one of BPS' official languages: Spanish, Creole (Cape Verdean), Creole (Haitian), Chinese, Vietnamese, Portuguese, & Somali." We can list as bullet: Fluency in one of BPS' official languages: Spanish, Creole (Cape Verdean), Creole (Haitian), Chinese, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Somali. Also maybe "Values linguistic diversity" as a bullet. Now Terms: "BTU, Paraprofessional Unit, Contractual hourly rate Please refer to the BPS website for more information on salary and compensation. Salaries are listed by Unions and Grade/Step. The start and end times of BPS schools vary, as do the lengths of the school day. Some BPS schools have a longer school day through the 'Schedule A' Expanded Learning Time (ELT) agreement." We have some info about Pay and Schedule but not specific numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention "Contractual hourly rate" and "salaries are listed by Unions and Grade/Step" and "start and end times vary". This is not specific numbers; it's vague. Should we include Pay or Schedule sections? The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that there is a contractual hourly rate and that salaries are listed by unions and grade/step, and that start/end times vary. That is still stating something about pay and schedule, albeit not specific. However, the instruction also says: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. And we should not create sections with filler/placeholder text like "varies", "TBD". The phrase "start and end times of BPS schools vary, as do the lengths of the school day." is essentially "varies". That might be considered filler. Similarly "salaries are listed by Unions and Grade/Step" is not a specific number. Might be considered not substantive enough. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we should avoid creating Pay or Schedule sections if the content is just "varies". So we should omit Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit Benefits. Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from duties but not explicit. Better not to create Skills section unless there is explicit skills list. There's no explicit skills list. So omit Skills. Thus we will have sections: About the role (maybe we can call it About the role), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to use

  for section headings. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, nondiscrimination, retaliation, etc. Also remove "Terms: BTU, Paraprofessional Unit, Contractual hourly rate Please refer to the BPS website for more information on salary and compensation." Might be considered metadata but not a heading; we could fold into a short paragraph under About the role? But it's about pay; we decided not to create Pay section. Could we include that as a short paragraph under About the role? It's about pay and terms; but we might drop it as it's not specific. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can fold minor metadata like the vacancy date, reports to, etc. into a short

    . For pay and schedule, we could drop as it's not specific. But we could also include a short paragraph about "Contractual hourly rate; salaries determined by union grade/step; start/end times vary." However that is somewhat vague; but it's still metadata. Might be okay to include as a short paragraph under About the role. But the instruction about not
