We need to extract substantive info: Position Title: Paraprofessional (but we don't repeat as heading). Terms of Employment: School year. Position Classification: Support Staff. Union FLSA Classification: Non-exempt. Qualifications: ... (list). Reports to: Building Principal and/or Director of Student Services with daily workflow direction by classroom teacher or special education teacher. Supervises: n/a. Evaluation: As per the Windham Northeast Education Association agreement for Staff. Position Summary: ... Responsibilities may include ... Performance Responsibilities: list. Physical Requirements: ... Also maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present. So we should not include those sections.
We need sections: maybe About the role (could be Position Summary), Responsibilities (Performance Responsibilities), Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (maybe from qualifications list includes communication, interpersonal, etc). Could also include "Physical Requirements" as a separate section? Not in allowed headings list but we could treat as "Requirements" or "Skills"? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content.
We have Position Summary (About the role). We have Performance Responsibilities (Responsibilities). We have Qualifications (list). We have Skills (maybe subset of qualifications). Could combine Qualifications and Skills? Better to separate: Qualifications (education, credits, Praxis, etc). Skills (communication, interpersonal, teamwork, confidentiality, tech skills, etc). Also Physical Requirements maybe could go under Requirements? But we don't have a heading for Physical Requirements; we could include under Requirements as a bullet? But the instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we can include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also Physical Requirements could be under Requirements (maybe as a bullet). But we need to decide.
Let's extract content:
About the role (Position Summary): "The Paraprofessional works closely with certified staff to support students’ academic, behavioral, and social-emotional development in school settings. Responsibilities may include assisting with instruction, supervising students, collecting data, and supporting the implementation of student support plans, depending on assignment. A positive, flexible, and collaborative approach is essential, along with the ability to work effectively as part of a team in support of student success."
Responsibilities (Performance Responsibilities): list many items. We'll need to put each as
- .
Requirements: maybe includes Terms of Employment, Position Classification, Union FLSA Classification, Reports to, Supervises, Evaluation, Physical Requirements? But the heading "Requirements" could be used for general job requirements like education, experience, etc. However we already have Qualifications for education/credentials. Could treat Requirements as other job requirements like Reports to, Supervises, Evaluation, Physical Requirements, Terms of Employment, Position Classification, etc. But we need to avoid filler like "n/a". We can include Reports to, Evaluation, Terms of Employment, Position Classification, Union FLSA Classification, Physical Requirements.
Qualifications: education/credentials: "High school diploma equivalent required; associate degree preferredMust have at least 48 college credits OR have passed (or the ability to pass) the Praxis ParaPro exam OR otherwise meet Title I requirements (not required for behavior support positions without instructional duties)". Also maybe "Experience with school-aged children, including students with disabilities, preferred". That could be qualifications.
Skills: "Strong communication and interpersonal skillsAbility to respond appropriately to students in a supportive manner while exercising sound judgmentBasic academic, technology, and data tracking skills, including proficiency with Google Workspace toolsAbility to be positive, flexible and collaborative and work as part of a teamAbility to maintain confidentialityAbility to maintain regular and punctual attendance". Also maybe "Ability to maintain confidentiality" etc.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content across sections. We'll split logically.

We could also include Supervises: n/a but that's not substantive; we can omit.

Let's extract them:
