We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule etc. We must include only sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "This position has been reopened to secure additional applicants. We may hire two (2) positions off of this one posting." That's maybe meta but not boilerplate? It's about the posting; maybe keep? It's not a standard heading; but it's part of summary. Could be considered part of POSITION SUMMARY. We'll keep it as part of summary paragraph. We need to parse content. Let's extract sections: - POSITION SUMMARY: description of role. - ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: list of duties. - Other Responsibilities: list. - Required Qualifications: Education and Experience, Additional Requirements. - Preferred Qualifications: Experience working with students with disabilities. - Condition Of Employment: list of items (background check, core competency, driver's license, PBIS, Right Response, CPR/first aid, travel, schedule, knowledge, abilities...). This is a big list of knowledge, skills, abilities. - REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES RELATED TO CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND EQUITY: bullet list. - PHYSICAL DEMANDS: description. - WORK CONDITIONS: description. - WORK SCHEDULE: description. - REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS: description. - REPRESENTATION: union info. - Level Of Compensation: description of salary schedule and benefits. - CLASSIFICATION HISTORY: maybe not needed? It's metadata; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not essential but maybe keep? It says "Update 07/2015 Updated Right Response language 07/2017". Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop. - Disclaimer: boilerplate; drop. We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (POSITION SUMMARY), Responsibilities (ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES + Other Responsibilities), Requirements (Education and Experience, Additional Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Condition Of Employment?), Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits (benefits listed), Pay (maybe not explicit salary amount, just "Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule." That's not specific pay; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule." That's not a specific number; it's a reference. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Benefits, they list benefits: Medical, dental vision, sick and vacation leave, life insurance, retirement. That's specific benefits, so we can include Benefits section. For Schedule, they have WORK SCHEDULE description: "This is a school year assignment. Hours and days will vary slightly from school to school." That's specific schedule info, so we can include Schedule section. For Pay, they only mention salary schedule reference, not actual pay; maybe we should not create Pay section because not specific. Could we treat "Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule." as pay info? It's not a specific amount; but it's still pay info. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state that it's on the PSE Salary Schedule, which is a statement about pay. Might be considered stating them. However they also say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay (salary schedule). So we could include Pay section with that statement. But we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is not filler; it's a specific reference. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. But we also have "Level Of Compensation Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule. This position includes the following benefits prorated based on FTE - Medical, dental vision, sick and vacation leave, life insurance, retirement." That combines pay and benefits. We could split: Pay section: "Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule." Benefits section: list. Now we need to decide headings: About the role (POSITION SUMMARY), Responsibilities (Essential duties + Other Responsibilities), Requirements (Education and Experience, Additional Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Condition Of Employment?), Qualifications maybe overlapping. Actually we could have Requirements (Education and Experience, Additional Requirements) and Preferred Qualifications separate? But we prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements and Qualifications" section. But the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can put education/experience, additional requirements, preferred qualifications, condition of employment under Requirements or Qualifications. Let's make a "Requirements" section covering education/experience, additional requirements, condition of employment. Then a "Preferred Qualifications" section for preferred qualification. Then a "Skills" section for knowledge, skills, abilities (including cultural competence). Then Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We also need to include Physical Demands and Work Conditions maybe under a "Working Conditions" heading? Not in list but we could incorporate into Skills? Better to add a "Working Conditions" section? Not in allowed headings list but we could still use

for any section heading; the list is examples, not exclusive. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings but not limited to them? It says e.g., so we can use others if needed. But to be safe, we can incorporate Physical Demands and Work Conditions into a "Working Conditions" section using

. That seems fine. Also Reporting Relationships and Representation could be under "Additional Information". But maybe we can incorporate into "About the role" or "Working Conditions". However we need to preserve all substantive info. Could add a section "Additional Information" with reporting relationships, representation, classification history? But classification history we may drop. Let's add a section "Additional Information" for reporting relationships and representation. But we must avoid filler. Ensure each heading has real content. Let's draft. First, About the role: combine POSITION SUMMARY and the first sentence about reopened? We'll include that as part of summary. Paragraph: "This position has been reopened to secure additional applicants. We may hire two (2) positions off of this one posting. The paraeducator in the social emotional behavioral (SEB) core program performs instructional/tutorial assignments, student supervision, clerical tasks, and may perform health-related procedures under the general supervision and direction of a certificated teacher, specialist or principal. The SEB program is for students with identified disabilities that demonstrate primary learning needs in the social emotional skills domain. Paraeducators plan their work with their supervising teacher, and planning time will be set aside when required by either the program’s regulations or the paraeducator’s supervising teacher and principal." That's good. Responsibilities: combine ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES and Other Responsibilities into a list. We need to extract list items. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES list: - Provide support to the classroom teacher for the purpose of accomplishing tasks specific to special assignment while working within legal and special program parameters. - Work directly under the supervision of a certificated teacher or specialist and follow such directions as given by student(s) program. - Instruct individuals or small groups; supervise groups for periods of time. - Perform clerical tasks. - Perform health-related procedures, as needed, which may include hygiene issues, and administer special programs and tests, only when properly trained. - It is important for Paraeducators to be cooperative and flexible as they are often asked to adjust in the ever-changing educational program. - Practice effective safety and security within individual work routines, including implementation of behavioral de-escalation techniques and crisis management. Other Responsibilities list: - Transport students in school district van. - Prepare and order meals. - Perform instructional clerical tasks. - Work collaboratively with District staff and promote teamwork with co-workers. - Assist substitute teacher with helpful information pertinent to the classroom. We'll combine into a single

Education and Experience: "High School Diploma or Equivalent And one of the following: AA degree, OR High school diploma (or equivalent) and 48 college-level semester credits or 72 college-level quarter credits, OR High school diploma (or equivalent) and pass the state approved paraeducator assessment test" Additional Requirements: "Proficient in basic spelling, math and grammar skills Experienced and/or training in reading instruction, remediation, and assessment" Condition Of Employment: list items: - Pass a criminal background check - Complete the district's paraeducator core competency requirements - Washington State driver’s license.
