Paraeducator - Preschool Special Education

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions. Must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes "Position Hours And Pay" with details: 6.75 hours per day at 146 days per year, and 7 hours per day for 4 days for the first year, and 2 days each year following until certification is completed. Position pay: PSE Salary Schedule Level 5- $25.40. So we have Pay and Schedule content. Also there is "Wages And Benefits Click here to access details on the following: Salaries/Wages Insurance Retirement Plans Paid Time Off or Vacation Paid Holidays Other Compensation". That's a link to details but not actual content. We cannot include Benefits section unless actual benefits described. The posting only mentions link; no actual benefit details. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. However we could include a short note? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states Pay and Schedule details, so we can include those sections. Benefits: only a link to details, not actual content, so we should not create Benefits section. We need sections: About the role (maybe from General Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions and Other Functions), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications? Actually Requirements could be federal minimum employment requirements), Qualifications (maybe Education and Experience, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Licenses/Special Requirements), Skills (maybe from Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities). We need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content. Important sections: - Position Hours And Pay (we will put under Pay and Schedule separate sections? Could combine? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have separate Pay and Schedule sections. - General Summary: "This position's responsibilities are to assist certificated staff in a variety of activities for preschool special education students, including instructing students individually or in small groups, and supervising student behavior and supervising student activities as assigned." That's about role. - Essential Functions: list of duties. - Other Functions: additional duties. - Reporting Relationships, Mental Demands, Physical Demands maybe could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably Responsibilities. - Minimum Qualifications: Education and Experience, Allowable Substitutions Not applicable. - Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list. - Licenses/Special Requirements: list. - PSE UNIT AFFILIATION maybe not needed. - Conditions: note. - Wages And Benefits: link only. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all those details in appropriate sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, Non-Discrimination Policy, Application Procedure. Remove those. Also remove "Important Information Official Hire Date..." etc? That's metadata but not boilerplate; maybe we can fold into a short

under About the role or separate? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include Official Hire Date, Required Training, TB Testing, MMR Vaccine Required etc as a short paragraph maybe under About the role or a separate "Important Information" but we don't have a heading for that; we could just include as a

after About the role before Responsibilities. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:
