The allowed headings are only those listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must map content to those headings. Physical Demands maybe under Requirements? Or maybe we omit if not fitting? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop. So we need to include it somewhere, maybe under Requirements or Qualifications. Since those headings are allowed, we can put physical demands under Requirements (or Qualifications). Similarly Work Conditions maybe under Requirements.
- Work Schedule: we have schedule info: "This is a school year assignment. Hours and days will vary from school to school." That's schedule content, so we can include Schedule section.
- Pay: there is "Level Of Compensation Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule." That's pay info, so include Pay section.
