Paraeducator I - Resource and Basic Support
for section headings: About the role, Shift Details, Position Type? Actually "Position Type" could be part of About the role. But we can include a section for "Position Type" if we want. However guidelines: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine some.
We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities? The description includes duties: works collaboratively, assists with instructional support, prepares materials, monitors progress, behavior, safety, performs routine clerical tasks. That's responsibilities. Could be under About the role or Responsibilities. We'll make a section "Responsibilities". Also "Qualifications" (Required and Preferred). Could split into Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as subheadings? But we can't use headings other than h3? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple h3 sections. We'll include: About the role (maybe short intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine required and preferred?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we need to avoid empty sections. We have content for each.
Let's extract:
About the role: Edmonds School District is committed to workplace diversity... but that's more generic. Could be about role: "Position Information Works collaboratively with certificated staff in classrooms or other learning environments, assists with a variety of instructional support and student supervision duties; prepares educational materials; monitors students' progress, behavior, and safety. Performs routine clerical tasks to support teachers and other district staff."
Shift Details: "Shift Details: 5.50 hours a day; 181 day calendar Non-Continuing Position: This position is non-continuing for the 2026-2027 school year only. Typically, non-continuing assignments fill a variety of temporary vacancies to help the school district meet a short-term work demand. This work assignment expires on the end date of employment and there is no reasonable assurance for work after the end date. An employee's total work hours and the designated beginning and ending times may vary."
FLSA Status/Hourly Rate: "FLSA Status: Non-Exempt Hourly Rate: $29.61 to 33.52 (hourly) (2026-27 Classified Support Staff Salary Schedule)". Also Position Type: Paraeducator Level I.
We could make a Pay section with that rate. Schedule section with shift details and non-continuing note.
Benefits: list as given.
Required Qualifications: list bullet points.
Preferred Qualifications: list bullet points.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must not include application instructions, EEO boilerplate, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information.

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed that. Check for any leftover: The original had "Position Information Works collaboratively..." we used that in Responsibilities. The generic district commitment we placed in About the role. That's okay. We must not repeat job title as heading; we didn't. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none. We must not include application instructions; we removed "How To Apply". We must not include navigation/legal/EEO etc; we removed. We must preserve all substantive information: Did we miss any?
