for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Basic Function, Representative Duties, Knowledge And Abilities, Education And Experience, Licenses And Other Requirements, Environment, Physical Demands, Hazards, etc. Also includes Required Documents, Special Requirements/Certificates, etc. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role (maybe Basic Function), Responsibilities (Representative Duties), Requirements (Education And Experience? Licenses?), Qualifications (Knowledge And Abilities?), Skills (maybe Knowledge And Abilities?), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (none). We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we include only sections where we have substantive content.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Also avoid Job ID etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's parse content:
Basic Function: "Assist a certificated teacher in providing instruction to individual or small groups of severely handicapped students in a classroom; monitor and report student progress regarding behavior and performance; assist students in developing various self help, social and community skills."
Representative Duties: a long list with many items each preceded by "E". We need to extract each duty as list items.
Knowledge And Abilities: includes KNOWLEDGE OF: list, Ability To: list.
Education And Experience: "Any combination equivalent to: high school diploma or equivalent and increasingly responsible experience in working with school age children in an organized setting."
Licenses And Other Requirements: "Satisfactory completion of the California High School Proficiency Examination (Basic Skills Assessment Test)."
Environment: "WORKING CONDITIONS: Specialized classroom environment for the severely learning challenged."
Physical Demands: "Lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling heavy equipment and students. Dexterity of hands and fingers to manipulate specialized apparatus and to operate audio visual and educational training equipment. Bending at the waist, kneeling or crouching. Standing and walking for extended periods of time."
Hazards: "Exposure to anti social behavior. Exposure to bodily fluids and infectious diseases."
Board Approved 11/99 Title Change from Instructional Assistant to Paraeducator 1/05 (metadata, can be short p or drop).
Then later "Requirements / Qualifications" repeats Basic Function again, then "DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS:" which repeats Knowledge And Abilities etc. Then "EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:" repeats. Then "REQUIRED DOCUMENTS:" list: High School Diploma or Equivalent AND Proficiency Exam Certificate (Basic Skills Assessment Test). Candidates not providing evidence... may be considered for employment as a Non Instructional Classroom Assistant. OR Associate's Degree or Bachelor's Degree or Higher Education Degree. The Proficiency Exam (Basic Skills Assessment Test) is administered by Lodi Unified School District. Interested candidates need to RSVP by calling (209) 331-7605.
"SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS / CERTIFICATES: The successful applicant will be required to pass a pre-employment physical examination. Cost of the exam will be borne by the District. If selected for the position, out-of-district applicants must be T.B. tested and fingerprinted. A practical skills test may be administered at the time of interview."
We need to include all substantive info, but we should avoid duplication. We can combine similar info.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could use Basic Function (maybe also include Board Approved note as short p). We'll put Basic Function in
.
- Responsibilities: Representative Duties list.
- Requirements: Education And Experience (maybe also Licenses And Other Requirements). Could combine.
- Qualifications: Knowledge And Abilities (maybe also Desirable Qualifications). Could combine.

- Benefits: none.
- Pay: none.
- Schedule: none.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we will only include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
We need to ensure we use

Inside each section, we need to use

- for lists.
Let's extract content precisely.
About the role: Basic Function sentence. Also maybe include Board Approved note? It's metadata but could be short p. It's substantive? It's historical. Could include as a short p. We'll include it as a

Responsibilities: list each duty. The duties are prefixed with "E ". We'll strip the "E " and treat each as list item.

We'll create a
