Probably we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefit details given. Pay we have. Schedule we have. - Non-Discrimination Policy: boilerplate EEO; we should remove. - Application Procedure: "Apply online" - we should remove application instructions. Thus we need sections: maybe About the role (description), Responsibilities (essential functions duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications + federal requirements + licenses?), Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Pay, Schedule. We must not invent placeholders. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

Potential sections: - About the role: could include the description paragraph about assisting certificated staff, etc. - Responsibilities: the essential functions duties list (the long list). Could be a

  with each duty as
  • . - Requirements: could combine federal minimum employment requirements, education/experience, licenses/special requirements. But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Maybe one Requirements section that includes all requirements (education, experience, federal minimums, licenses). Use

However we need to avoid thin sections; but we have substantive content for both. - Skills: the Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list. - Pay: the pay info. - Schedule: the hours/days info. We must not include Benefits section because no specifics. We must not include boilerplate like Non-Discrimination Policy, EEO, application procedure.

Section: Qualifications (

    Qualifications

    ) maybe not needed if we covered. But we could separate Education/Experience from Skills. However we already put education/experience in Requirements. Could rename Requirements to "Minimum Qualifications". But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should follow those headings exactly if we include them. So we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Benefits if present (not). We'll not include Benefits. Thus: - About the role: description paragraph (including 1:1 support, change in assignment, hire date, required training, FCS, etc.) plus maybe the initial description of responsibilities? But we have Responsibilities separate. - Responsibilities: essential functions duties list. - Requirements: federal minimum employment requirements + education/experience + licenses/s
