Paraeducator - Deaf/Hard of Hearing Program and Early Childhood Education Preschool

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. We have two positions: Paraeducator - Deaf/Hard of Hearing Program and Paraeducator - Early Childhood Education Preschool. The posting includes both? It seems the user gave a combined posting with two position summaries. We need to reformat the job posting into clean HTML. Likely we need to treat it as one job posting? But there are two distinct positions. The instruction: "You reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML." The provided text includes two position summaries. Possibly they want both included. We could create sections for each? However headings are limited to certain names. Could we have multiple sections like Responsibilities, Requirements etc that cover both? Might be better to create separate sections for each position using

for each? But headings allowed are only those specific names. Could we repeat them? Probably yes: we can have multiple

sections each with appropriate heading like "About the role", "Responsibilities", etc. But we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. We can have a short

for metadata. We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text includes some boilerplate like "Disclaimer", "All employment open positions are made available on a nondiscriminatory basis..." That's EEO boilerplate; should remove. Also "CLASSIFICATION HISTORY Update 07/2015 Updated Right Response language 07/2017" maybe keep? It's metadata but not essential; could drop. "REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS", "REPRESENTATION", "LEVEL OF COMPENSATION", "CLASSIFICATION HISTORY", "Disclaimer". Some of these may be considered metadata; 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 a short paragraph for metadata like classification history, reporting relationships, representation, level of compensation, etc. We need sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (knowledge/abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have info: Position summary for each. Could combine? Might be better to create separate sections for each position? But headings limited; we could have multiple

with same heading? Might be confusing. Perhaps we treat the posting as describing two similar roles; we can combine responsibilities etc. But the responsibilities differ somewhat (DHH vs early childhood). Better to separate. We could create a structure:

About the role

then

Two positions: Paraeducator - Deaf/Hard of Hearing Program and Paraeducator - Early Childhood Education Preschool.

Then

Responsibilities

with

combining duties from both? Might be okay but could lose specificity. However instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we combine, we might lose nuance but still preserve all duties listed. Could list all duties from both under responsibilities. That would preserve all. Similarly for Requirements: combine required qualifications (both have same required qualifications? The required qualifications section appears after both position summaries? Actually after the second position summary, there is "REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:" etc. That seems to apply to both positions? Likely same for both. So we can list that. Preferred qualifications: "Experience working with deaf/hard of hearing students" (only for DHH). Also maybe other preferences? Not given. Skills: Knowledge of IEPs, assistive listening equipment, etc. Also ability to use sign language system, etc. Also cultural competence etc. Also physical demands, work conditions, schedule. Benefits: "This position includes the following benefits prorated based on FTE - Medical, dental vision, sick and vacation leave, life insurance, retirement." Pay: "Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule." That's pay info. Schedule: "This is a school year assignment. Hours and days will vary slightly from school to school." Thus we can create sections. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We'll need to deduplicate.
