Preschool Itinerant Instructional Assistant - Special Education

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, nondiscrimination, disclaimer, etc. Also remove application instructions (none present). Must keep content like qualifications, essential functions, etc. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - Paraprofessional Information and Hiring Requirements: list of ways to meet prior to hire: 60 college credit hours, associate degree or higher, passing score on ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment. Also note "Need the ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment? Register HERE to take it at our Adult Education Center." That's a link; we should keep? It's a call to action; maybe considered application instruction? It's about taking assessment; but it's not application instruction per se. Might keep as part of qualifications? It's about requirement. We'll keep the info. - Position Title: Instructional Assistant, Preschool Itinerant Special Education (we must not repeat as heading). We'll not output heading for title. - Department: Special Services - Reports To: Executive Director of Special Services - FLSA Status: Non-Exempt - Qualifications: list: high school graduate or equivalent; at least two years of study (60 semester hours) at an accredited institution; or associate's degree (or higher); or passing score on ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment. - Certificates, Licenses, Registrations: Must have current government issued identification - Terms Of Employment: 8 Hours/185 Days Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 8). Terms of employment detailed based on full time employment during school year. Conditions adjusted for part time etc. - General Summary: description. - Essential Functions: long list bullet points. - Supervisory Responsibility: supervises students. - OTHER SKILLS And ABILITIES: long list. - Physical Demands: description. - Work Environment: description. - Evaluation: Performance evaluated annually according to Board Policy. - Disclaimer Statement: remove (boilerplate). - Nondiscrimination Policy: remove. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe General Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Functions). Requirements (Qualifications + hiring requirements). Skills (OTHER SKILLS And ABILITIES). Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Terms of Employment includes salary schedule grade 8 but not explicit pay amount. It says Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 8). That's not a specific pay figure; but it's mention of salary schedule. According to rules: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states "Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 8)" and "8 Hours/185 Days". That is schedule info (hours per day, days per year). So we could include a Schedule section with that info. Pay: not specific amount, just salary schedule grade; but that is still pay info? It says salary schedule grade 8, not actual pay. Might be considered pay info but not specific. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary schedule grade 8, which is a pay reference. Could include Pay section with that. However they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might combine Pay and Schedule into one? But headings are prescribed: we can use

for Pay, Schedule, Benefits. If we have both, we could include both. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Here we have specific: "8 Hours/185 Days Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 8)". That's specific enough. Thus we can have sections: - About the role (General Summary) - Responsibilities (Essential Functions) - Requirements (Qualifications + hiring requirements) - Skills (OTHER SKILLS And ABILITIES) - Schedule (8 Hours/185 Days) - Pay (Support Staff Salary Schedule Grade 8) maybe combine? But we could put both in Schedule section? Actually schedule is hours/days; pay is salary schedule grade. Could combine into one section "Schedule & Pay"? But headings are fixed; we could only use allowed headings. Could we use

for Schedule and include both hours/days and salary schedule? That would be mixing pay into schedule heading, which may be okay but not ideal. Better to have separate Schedule and Pay sections. - Benefits: not mentioned, so omit. We also need to include the hiring requirements bullet list (60 college credit hours etc.) maybe under Requirements. We must not include fluff like "FLSA Status: Non-Exempt" maybe could be included in About the role? It's metadata but not boilerplate; we could include as a short paragraph under About the role or maybe as a separate metadata paragraph. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include FLSA status, Department, Reports To as a short paragraph maybe under About the role or separate

before sections. Probably best to include a short paragraph after the title (but we don't output title) containing Department, Reports To, FLSA Status. That is minor metadata. We must preserve all substantive information; we should not drop the hiring requirements bullet list. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

Department: Special Services. Reports To: Executive Director of Special Services. FLSA Status: Non-Exempt.

Then sections. About the role: use the General Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list as

• ... each bullet. Requirements: combine hiring requirements bullet list and Qualifications bullet list? Could be two lists but we can combine into one list with all items. However we need to preserve all info; we can have two separate
  under Requirements heading? The rule: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid multiple lists. We'll do one list for hiring requirements and another for qualifications maybe. But we need to avoid duplication: hiring requirements list includes: 60 college credit hours, associate degree or higher, passing score on ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment. Qualifications list includes: high school graduate or equivalent; at least two years of study (60 semester hours) at an accredited institution; or associate's degree (or higher); or passing score on ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment. There's overlap; we should keep both as they are distinct but similar. We'll keep both. Skills: OTHER SKILLS And ABILITIES list as
    . Schedule: 8 Hours/185 Days. Pay: Support Staff Salary Schedule (Grade 8). We should also include the note about registering for ParaPro assessment? That's part of hiring requirements maybe as a note. Could include as a

    under Requirements: "Need the ParaPro or ParaPathways Assessment? Register HERE to take it at our Adult Education Center." That's a call to action but it's substantive info about how to meet requirement. We'll keep as a paragraph. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." that's part of Physical Demands and Work Environment; those are substantive, we should keep them. They are not boilerplate; they are descriptions. So we need to include Physical Demands and Work Environment sections? There's no prescribed heading for those; we could maybe put them under About the role or Responsibilities? But they are substantive. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could incorporate Physical Demands and Work Environment into About the role or Responsibilities? But they are distinct categories. However we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No heading for Physical Demands or Work Environment. So we need to fold that content into existing sections, maybe under Responsibilities or About the role. Since they describe demands and environment, could be part of Responsibilities (the job's responsibilities include meeting physical demands). Or we could add a short paragraph under About the role that includes those details. The instruction says we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can embed them in existing sections. Thus we can add a paragraph under About the role that includes General Summary plus Physical Demands and Work Environment? Might be lengthy but okay. Alternatively we could create a section "Working Conditions" but not allowed. So we embed. Let's decide: About the role will contain General Summary, Physical Demands, Work Environment. Responsibilities will contain Essential Functions and Supervisory Responsibility. Requirements will contain hiring requirements and Qualifications plus certificates etc. Skills will contain OTHER SKILLS And ABILITIES. Schedule and Pay as separate sections. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure we use

    for each section heading. We'll output:

    About the role

    General Summary: ...

    Physical Demands: ...

    Work Environment: ...

    Then

    Responsibilities

    • ... each essential function bullet
    Maybe also include Supervisory Responsibility as a
    • under same list. Then

      Requirements
