for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must include only sections with real specific content. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Key parts:
- Title: Paraeducator - Elementary, 5 hrs/day (.625 FTE), Part Time, Permanent
- First round of interviews will be conducted by a review of applicants' video submissions.* (maybe keep as a note? It's substantive? It's about process; maybe include under About the role? Could be a note.)
- The North Clackamas School District strives to create an inclusive environment... (EEO boilerplate) Should be removed as per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we drop that paragraph.
- We are most interested in finding the best candidate... (encouraging to apply) Might be considered boilerplate? It's encouraging but not EEO. Might keep? It's not a standard heading; could be part of About the role.
- If you are unsure whether you meet the qualifications... contact HR. That's also maybe boilerplate but could be kept as note. Might be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encouragement to contact HR. Might keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly instruction to apply but encouraging contact. Might be considered boilerplate; safer to drop? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The paragraph about contacting HR if unsure is not exactly application instruction but could be considered a note. I'd keep it maybe under About the role.
- Position Summary: The incumbent performs a variety of instructional and classroom support and student supervision duties to assist the school and teachers in instruction, supervision, and education of students.
- Compensation: Initial wage placement according to NCSD/OSEA Collective Bargaining Agreement. Then a table: CLASSIFIED WAGE SCHEDULE 2026-2027 JOB GROUP Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 D22.8824.0225.2426.5027.8429.2330.6932.22
Interpretation: The wage schedule shows hourly rates? The numbers: D22.88 24.02 25.24 26.50 27.84 29.23 30.69 32.22. Likely steps 2-9 hourly rates. So we can present as a list or table? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. For compensation, we could put in a
describing the wage schedule. Could also present as a
but it's not a list of duties/requirements/benefits; it's compensation. Probably a is fine.
- Retirement Plan Contributions: description.
- SCHEDULE: TBD; Subject to change depending on department needs. WORK CALENDAR: 180 days
We should not create Schedule or Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule is TBD, which is placeholder; we should not create a Schedule section because it's TBD (not specific). Benefits: Not mentioned besides retirement plan contributions. There's no explicit benefits like health insurance etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless there is real specific content. Retirement plan contributions is a benefit; we could include under a Benefits section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state retirement plan contributions, which is a benefit. So we could create a Benefits section with that content. However, we also have Pay section (compensation). The posting does state compensation details (wage schedule). So we can create Pay section.
Schedule: TBD, not specific, so we should not create Schedule section.
Now Minimum Qualifications: list of bullet-like statements. We'll put under Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where to put each piece.
- About the role: could include Position Summary, maybe the first round interviews note, encouraging to apply, contact HR note.
- Responsibilities: MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES (depending On Specific Assignment) list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Desired Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe some of the abilities listed in Minimum Qualifications could be considered skills, but we already have Requirements and Qualifications. Could also put Skills separate but we might not need if overlapping. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate headings allowed; we could omit Skills if not needed.
- Benefits: Retirement Plan Contributions.
- Pay: Compensation wage schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must output only HTML fragment.
