Paraeducator - Crossing Guard
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Position: .5 hours per day at 178 days per year. (Schedule)
- Pay: PSE Salary Schedule Level 3 - $22.17 (Pay)
- Description: This position's responsibilities are to ensure the safety and well-being of students at traffic crossings. (About the role maybe)
- Qualifications: list includes ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS (list of duties) and Other Functions, REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS, MENTAL DEMANDS, PHYSICAL DEMANDS, Minimum Qualifications (Education and Experience), Allowable Substitutions, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Licenses/Special Requirements, PSE UNIT AFFILIATION, Wages And Benefits (link), Non-Discrimination Policy (boilerplate to remove), Application Procedure (remove).
We need to keep substantive info, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should remove the Non-Discrimination Policy (EEO) and the Application Procedure line. Also remove the "Wages And Benefits Click here to access details on the following: ..." maybe we can keep as a link? It's a link to details; but it's not specific content. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We can include Benefits section if posting actually states them. It says "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". That's a generic pointer, not specific benefits. Probably we should not create a Benefits section because it's not specific content (just a link). The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Pay and Schedule are stated. Benefits: only a link to details, not actual benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section.
We need sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (essential functions list), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications + Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities + Licenses/Special Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe we can combine?), Skills (maybe Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities), Pay, Schedule.
But we must not repeat headings with filler. Use only sections with real content.
Let's decide:
- About the role: description sentence.
- Responsibilities: list of essential functions (the bullet list). Also maybe Other Functions? Could include as part of responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Education and Experience) plus Licenses/Special Requirements (fingerprinting, background check, infection control training). Also maybe "Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities" could go under Skills.
- Skills: list of knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Pay: the pay line.
- Schedule: the .5 hours per day at 178 days per year.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We must not repeat job title as heading (not present). Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none).
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to include all substantive info from the posting, except boilerplate removed.
Let's extract substantive info:
From posting:
- "THIS POSITION IS FOR .5 HOURS PER DAY AT 178 DAYS PER YEAR." => schedule.
- "PAY FOR POSITION: PSE Salary Schedule Level 3 - $ 22.17" => pay.
- "Description This position's responsibilities are to ensure the safety and well-being of students at traffic crossings." => about the role.
- "Qualifications ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS Depending upon individual assignment, the Crossing Guard may perform all or a combination of the following:" then list:
- Supervises students at traffic crossings.
- Directs student movements using appropriate equipment.
- Establishes rapport with students.
- Ensures that students follow district rules and regulations for traffic awareness and safety.
- Supervises student patrols at traffic crossings.
- Schedules student patrols; conducts patrol meetings

- "Other Functions May serve on various district committees and/or departmental work teams. Models appropriate and cooperative behavior, including protecting confidential information, consistent with district ethical guidelines. Performs related duties consistent with the duties consistent with the scope and intent of the position." (some typos). We'll keep as prose maybe.
- "REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS Reports to the school principal or assigned administrator."
- "MENTAL DEMANDS Required to deal with a wide range of student behaviors; may occasionally deal with distraught or difficult individuals; requires alertness and safety awareness."
- "PHYSICAL DEMANDS Required to work outdoors in inclement weather; required to stand for prolonged periods; required to hold equipment in proper positions for varying lengths of time; may occasionally be exposed to recklessly operated vehicles."

Ability to deal with students in a warm and confident manner. Ability to supervise and correct student behavior. Ability to follow and give instructions. Ability to be fair and consistent when working with children. Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with staff and students."
- "Licenses/Special Requirements Requires fingerprinting and background check to determine that there have been no convictions involving physical molestation, abuse, injury or neglect of a minor. Must complete training in and adhere to district infection control plan."
- "PSE UNIT AFFILIATION Paraeducator/Special Services"
- "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" (we will not create Benefits section; maybe we can note that there is a link but it's not specific; but we should not invent details. Probably we omit this entirely as it's not substantive content.)
- Non-Discrimination Policy (remove)
- Application Procedure (remove)
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role (

We might also include Reporting Relationships, Mental Demands, Physical Demands under Requirements or as separate sections? There's no predefined heading for those; we could fold them into Requirements as prose.
But we must not create sections with filler. If we include Reporting Relationships etc. under Requirements as prose, that's fine.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we must include Reporting Relationships, Mental Demands, Physical Demands somewhere.
Let's put them under Requirements as paragraphs.
Now, check for duplication: "Description This position's responsibilities are to ensure the safety and well-being of students at traffic crossings." That's about the role.
Now, ensure we don't repeat job title.
Now, produce HTML fragment.
