Paraeducator - SpEd- LEEP TEMPORARY
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Position: TEMPORARY Para-SpEd-LEEP Location: Kelso High School Position Details: 6.50 hrs/day, 7:30am to 2:30pm; 191 days/year. TEMPORARY FOR THE 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR Potential reduction hours due to Wednesday early release, early dismissals for parent conferences, holidays, and last day of school; reduction hours subject to change. Job assignment and/or building assignment are subject to change based on program needs determined by the district. Pay Range:Pays: Pay Range:PSE 1 Salary Schedule Benefits: This position is eligible for medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance in accordance with the School Employee Benefits Board rules and regulations.

School employees | Washington State Health Care Authority
Essential Functions (list of duties). Then Qualifications (list). Then Education (list). Then Other Functions (Perform all other duties as assigned). Then Bargaining Unit Affiliation, Responsible To, etc. Then nondiscrimination etc. Then drug and tobacco-free workplace.
We need to remove boilerplate: nondiscrimination, contact info, drug and tobacco-free, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief description). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (maybe qualifications? Actually they have Qualifications and Education separate). Skills maybe from qualifications? Benefits (they have benefits). Pay (they have Pay Range: PSE 1 Salary Schedule). Schedule (they have Position Details: hours per day, times, days/year, reduction hours). Also mention temporary for 2026-2027 school year.
We need to decide which sections to include.
- About the role: Could summarize position: TEMPORARY Para-SpEd-LEEP at Kelso High School, temporary for 2026-2027 school year, 6.5 hrs/day, 7:30am-2:30pm, 191 days/year, potential reduction hours, assignment subject to change. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (multiple bullet points). We'll put as - .
- Requirements: Could combine Qualifications and Education? But they ask separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where.
The posting has "Qualifications" (list of abilities). Then "Education" (list). Could treat Qualifications as Requirements? Or Requirements as the qualifications list? Skills maybe from qualifications like ability to use communication systems, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Qualifications and Education into a single "Qualifications" section, and maybe "Skills" not needed if overlapping. However instructions: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to see if there is distinct content for each heading.
We have:
- About the role: yes.
- Responsibilities: yes (Essential Functions).
- Requirements: maybe the qualifications list (must possess first aid/CPR, CPI training, etc.) Could be considered requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe the education requirements (high school diploma, etc.) Could be separate.
- Skills: maybe the abilities like "ability to work cooperatively", "ability to work independently", etc. But those are also in qualifications list. Might be redundant.
Better to follow the posting's headings: They have "Qualifications" and "Education". So we can map:
- Qualifications heading: use the list under "Qualifications".
- Education heading: use the list under "Education".
- Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit if no distinct skill list beyond qualifications.
- Benefits: yes.
- Pay: yes (Pay Range: PSE 1 Salary Schedule).
- Schedule: yes (Position Details).
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Education, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We should not include Requirements if we already have Qualifications and Education; but we could treat Requirements as the qualifications list and then Skills as something else? But to avoid thin sections, better to follow the posting's actual headings: Qualifications and Education. The instructions list possible headings but we only include those with content. So we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Education, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to extract content.

We'll put that in a

We need to preserve that as list items? Could be a
with nested list? Probably we can keep as
- for each option, but the first sentence is a condition. Could treat as
then
. But instructions: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So the education requirements are a list; we can do
- for each option, but we need to include the introductory sentence maybe as
. However we could incorporate the introductory sentence as part of the first
- but that would be inaccurate. Better:
Be at least eighteen years of age, hold a high school diploma and/or equivalent, AND must meet at least one of the following options:
then - ... options

Benefits: "This position is eligible for medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance in accordance with the School Employee Benefits Board rules and regulations. Information about benefits offered can be found HERE. Paid time off and other benefits are offered in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Public School Employees of Kelso Chapter #1 found HERE. School employees | Washington State Health Care Authority"
We need to preserve that; but we should remove boilerplate like "School employees | Washington State Health Care Authority" maybe considered boilerplate? It's a line but maybe it's part of benefits description. It's not clearly boilerplate like EEO. I'd keep it as part of benefits description.
Pay: "Pay Range:PSE 1 Salary Schedule". We'll put as Pay Range: PSE 1 Salary Schedule
.
Schedule: Position Details: "6.50 hrs/day, 7:30am to 2:30pm; 191 days/year. TEMPORARY FOR THE 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR Potential reduction hours due to Wednesday early release, early dismissals for parent conferences, holidays, and last day of school; reduction hours subject to change. Job assignment and/or building assignment are subject to change based on program needs determined by the district."
We'll put as ... maybe break into sentences but keep as one paragraph.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
