for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting:
- Community Consolidated School District 62 in Des Plaines, Illinois is seeking a Paraeducator at Forest Elementary School.
- Position Information: The Special Education Paraeducator provides direct support to students with disabilities in various educational settings, ensuring they have the necessary assistance to succeed academically, socially, and behaviorally. Working under the supervision of a certified special education teacher, the paraprofessional assists with classroom instruction, behavioral management, and individualized student needs. This is a full time, 10 month, 180 day school year position, and will work with students in various educational settings.
- Applicants must hold or be eligible for a Paraprofessional license from the Illinois State Board of Education: link.
- Please see the attached job description for more information.
- Mission: The mission of District 62 is to cultivate an inclusive, innovative learning environment that inspires students to explore robust academics, advance their potential and to be compassionate lifelong learners.
- District Information: District 62 has approximately 4,800 students in grades preK-8 in 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 early learning center, and 1 year-round, K-8 school.
- Application Procedure: Apply online at link and complete the online application, including uploading all requested documents.
- Compensation Information: The position starting salary is $19.10 per hour including fully paid individual health benefits. (Those with 3 years of experience as a paraeducator or who hold a Bachelors degree will have a starting salary of $20.10 per hour.) This position is part of the Des Plaines Educational Support Personnel Association and salaries are part of the collective bargaining agreement. Salary information can be found here: link. This position includes fully paid individual health benefits. All benefits information can be found here: link.
- Selection Procedure: All applications will be reviewed and qualified applicants will be recommended for further interview consideration. After interviews are completed, the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources will make a recommendation to the Board of Education via the Superintendent.
We need to remove application instructions, selection procedure? The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop "Application Procedure" and "Selection Procedure". Also drop "Please see the attached job description for more information." That's maybe not needed? It's not boilerplate but it's a reference; but we can keep? It's not substantive content? Might be considered minor metadata; we could drop. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could drop that line.
We need to preserve all substantive information: role description, responsibilities, qualifications (license requirement), mission, district info, compensation (pay and benefits), schedule (full time, 10 month, 180 day school year). Also maybe mention working under supervision, assists with classroom instruction, behavioral management, individualized student needs.
We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (description), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (license), Qualifications (maybe experience/education for higher pay), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine some.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have:
- About the role: we have description of role (provides direct support, works under supervision, assists with classroom instruction, behavioral management, individualized student needs, works in various educational settings). That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: could list duties: direct support to students with disabilities, assist with classroom instruction, assist with behavioral management, address individualized student needs, work in various educational settings. That's similar to role description; maybe we can combine.
- Requirements: Paraprofessional license from ISBE.
- Qualifications: maybe mention that those with 3 years experience or bachelor's degree get higher pay; but that's more about pay. Could be under Pay.
- Benefits: fully paid individual health benefits.
- Pay: starting salary $19.10 per hour; $20.10 for those with 3 years experience or bachelor's degree.
- Schedule: full time, 10 month, 180 day school year.
We also have mission and district info; maybe we can include as About the role or a separate section like "About the District". But the allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the District". Could we put mission/district info under About the role? Might be okay but it's not directly about role. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we could include a short paragraph under About the role that includes mission/district info as context. Or we could create a separate section like "About the District" but not allowed heading. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we could use other headings? 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 should stick to those.
Thus we need to fit mission and district info somewhere, maybe under About the role as a brief description of the district. Or we could put under Responsibilities? Not appropriate. Could put under Qualifications? Not appropriate. Could put under Skills? Not appropriate. Could put under About the role as a preamble.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Qualifications if we have something like "Eligible for paraprofessional license" but that's requirement. Could treat license as Requirement. Qualifications could be "Preferred: 3 years experience or bachelor's degree for higher pay". That's a qualification for higher pay but not required. Could include under Qualifications.
We need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine Qualifications into Requirements or Pay. But we have specific content for Qualifications (experience/degree leads to higher pay). Could be part of Pay section: mention that those with 3 years experience or bachelor's degree get $20.10/hour. So we can incorporate that into Pay.
Thus sections: About the role (includes role description, mission, district info), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (license), Benefits (fully paid individual health benefits), Pay (starting salary, higher rate for experience/degree), Schedule (full time, 10 month, 180 day school year).
We need to output HTML fragment only, no extra text.
We must use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any.
