PARA SPED / Developmentally Responsive Kindergarten (DRK)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). Must not include application instructions. Must not include duplicated lines. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Hours: "THIS POSITION IS FOR 6.5 HOURS PER DAY 178 DAYS PER YEAR. 7 hours per day for 4 days for the first year and 2 days each year following until certification is completed." Thus schedule info: 6.5 hours per day, 178 days per year; also note 7 hours per day for 4 days first year and 2 days each year following until certification completed. This is schedule details. - Pay: "PAY FOR POSITION: PSE Salary Schedule Level 5 - $ 25.40 (26-27 PSE SALARY SCHEDULE)". So pay: $25.40 (presumably hourly).

Paraeducator Certificate Program is dependent upon State funding. - PSE UNIT AFFILIATION: Paraeducator/Special Services - Conditions: preceding list not exhaustive. - Wages And Benefits: "Click here to access details on the following: Salaries/Wages Insurance Retirement Plans Paid Time Off or Vacation Paid Holidays Other Compensation". This is a link; we should not include that as content? It's a pointer to details; but we have no actual details. According to rules, we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions a link to details but not actual benefits. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefit details given. However we have Pay info. So we can include Pay section. - Non-Discrimination Policy etc: that's boilerplate EEO, should be removed. - Application Procedure: "Apply online" - remove. Thus we need sections: maybe About the role (General Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Other Functions?), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications + Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities + Licenses/Special Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe combine with Requirements?), Skills (maybe part of Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities), Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. Use

for each section heading. Use

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

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all the details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections. We must not repeat job title. Must not include metadata like "Official Hire Date", "Important Information", etc? Those are substantive? "Official Hire Date - Your hire date with the Bethel School District is based on School Board approval. This date depends on multiple factors and may change without notice. Please contact HR with any questions." This is metadata about hire date; maybe we can include as a short paragraph under About the role? It's not a heading; we can fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include hire date info in a paragraph. Also "Required Training - Person hired for this position must also complete Right Response Training within 3-5 months of hire. Must successfully complete the Fundamental Course of Studies (FCS) and General Paraeducator Certificate of the state mandated Paraeducator Certificate Program per State requirements. Paraeducator Certificate Program is dependent upon State funding." This is important; we can include under Requirements or Qualifications. Also "IMPORTANT: In order to be considered for an interview for this instructional paraeducator position you must meet the following federal minimum employment requirements." Then list. That's requirements. Thus we need to capture all. Let's outline sections: - About the role: General Summary + maybe hire date note. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions + Other Functions (maybe combine). Could split into Essential Functions and Other Functions but both are responsibilities. We can make one Responsibilities section with two sublists? But we must use

  • for any list. Could have two
    under same heading. - Requirements: Federal minimum employment requirements + Required Training + Licenses/Special Requirements + Minimum Qualifications Education and Experience + Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. But that may be too many sections; we can combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we make: - Requirements (covers federal minimum employment requirements, required training, licenses/special requirements) - Qualifications (covers education/experience, knowledge/skills/abilities) - Skills (maybe not needed if covered in Qualifications). But we could have Skills section listing abilities. But we must not create sections with filler. If we put Skills, we need actual skill list; we have many abilities; we could put them under Skills. Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Under Requirements: list federal minimum employment requirements, required training, licenses/special requirements. Under Qualifications: list Minimum Qualifications Education and Experience, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. Under Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit Skills section and put those abilities under Qualifications. But the instruction says we can use Skills heading if we have content. We could put the abilities list under Skills. But then Qualifications would be just education/experience. That might be okay. Let's decide: - About the role: General Summary + hire date note. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions + Other Functions. - Requirements: Federal minimum employment requirements, Required Training, Licenses/Special Requirements. - Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications Education and Experience. - Skills: Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (the long list). - Pay: Pay info. - Schedule: Hours info. We must not create Benefits section. Now we need to format. We'll produce HTML fragment:

    About the role

    Official hire date is based on School Board approval and may change without notice; contact HR with any questions.

    Responsibilities

    Essential Functions

    ?? But we cannot use h4? The instruction only says use

    for section headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but to keep simple we can just use

    directly under

    . However we have two lists; we could separate with a

    heading like

    Essential Functions:

    then

    . That's acceptable as prose. Thus:

    Responsibilities

    Essential Functions:

    • Instructs students with a range of disabilities individually or in small groups in a variety of learning activities to promote student understanding of materials presented.
    • Provides encouragement, reinforcement and achievement of educational objectives and goals defined by certificated staff.
