EducationFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, etc. We must not repeat job title. Must include only sections with real content. Must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes: Overview Of Position (some description), Essential Functions (list of duties), Other Functions, Reporting Relationships, Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (knowledge, skills, ability), Responsibility, Working Environment, Education Typical Qualifications, YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE (None specified), Preferred Experience, Certificates & Licenses, Continuing Education/Training, Clearances, Seattle Public Schools benefits info, Salary Schedule (just a note to find schedule), plus some application questions (which are application instructions, should be removed). Also there is a link to SPS Special Education Department website (but URL missing). We need to keep substantive info.
We need to decide sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (essential functions + other functions), Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities), Qualifications (education, experience, certificates, clearances), Benefits (benefits info), maybe Pay (not given actual numbers, just "Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01" - that's not actual pay info, it's a reference; we should not create Pay section because no actual salary stated). Schedule: not given. So we omit Pay and Schedule.
We must not include placeholder like "None specified" for years of experience; we could include that as content? It's substantive: "None specified." That's okay. But we should not create a heading with filler. We can include under Qualifications.
We must not include application questions (the Yes/No questions). Those are application instructions; remove.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We need to format lists with
? Not allowed because only h3 headings listed. But we could embed knowledge, skills, ability as paragraphs.
Better: Use

We need to preserve all substantive info: overview text, essential functions list, other functions, reporting relationships, required knowledge, skills, abilities (knowledge, skills, ability), responsibility, working environment, education typical qualifications, years of relevant experience, preferred experience, certificates & licenses, continuing education/training, clearances, benefits info.
We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like "Click Eligibility for benefits is determined..." Actually that sentence: "Seattle Public Schools benefits are administered by the Washington State Healthcare Authority (HCA) under the School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB). Click Eligibility for benefits is determined by the number of hours employees are anticipated to work during the school year (September 1 through August 31). Any employee who is scheduled to work 630 hours or more in a year is eligible for benefits." The "Click" seems like a broken link; we keep the substantive info.
We must not include the application questions at end.

Structure:
About the role
Overview text...
Responsibilities
- ... essential functions items ...
- ... other functions ...
But we might split essential functions and other functions as separate under same heading? Could combine.
Better: Under Responsibilities, list essential functions as bullet points, then maybe a separate bullet for "Other Functions: Performs other related duties as assigned..."
We need to preserve all essential functions bullet points. There are many sentences each starting with a verb. We'll convert each to - .
Let's extract essential functions list:
- Adapts, under the direction of the teacher. classroom activities, assignments and/or materials for the purpose of providing an opportunity for all special education students to participate in classroom activities.

Reporting Relationships: Reports to building Principal if assigned through staffing formulas. If based centrally, reports to assigned Special Education Supervisor.
Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: includes Knowledge, Skills, Ability sections.
We need to break down Knowledge, Skills, Ability into maybe subheadings? But we only allowed headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could use "Requirements" for knowledge, skills, abilities. Or we could split into "Knowledge", "Skills", "Abilities" as subheadings? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have content for: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities), Qualifications (education, experience, certificates, clearances), Benefits.
We could also include "Skills" as separate but we already have skills inside Requirements. Better to follow instruction: Use headings from that list. So we will have:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
...
Requirements
Maybe we need to break into knowledge, skills, ability subpoints but still under Requirements heading. Could use with sub-items? Could also use for prose. But we need to preserve all detail. We could structure as:
Requirements
Knowledge
? Not allowed because only h3 headings listed. But we could embed knowledge, skills, ability as paragraphs.
Better: Use . We need to preserve all substantive info: overview text, essential functions list, other functions, reporting relationships, required knowledge, skills, abilities (knowledge, skills, ability), responsibility, working environment, education typical qualifications, years of relevant experience, preferred experience, certificates & licenses, continuing education/training, clearances, benefits info.

We could also include "Skills" as separate but we already have skills inside Requirements. Better to follow instruction: Use headings from that list. So we will have:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
Requirements
Maybe we need to break into knowledge, skills, ability subpoints but still under Requirements heading. Could use- with sub-items? Could also use
for prose. But we need to preserve all detail. We could structure as:
Requirements
Knowledge
Requirements
thenKnowledge Required to perform basic math, ...
then- for specific knowledge items? The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make lists for knowledge, skills, ability.
Thus:
Requirements
Knowledge
? Not allowed. But we could just start a"Knowledge Required to perform basic math, including calculations using fractions, percents, and/or ratios; read a variety of manuals, write documents following prescribed formats, and/or present information to others; and understand complex, multi-step written and oral instructions." Then a
- for specific knowledge required: Instructional procedures and practices, Age appropriate student activities, Safety practices and procedures, Conflict resolution, Stages of child development/ behavior.
Similarly for Skills:
- . Then another
- for Other Functions.
Now Requirements: We'll break into knowledge, skills, ability.
Knowledge paragraph: "Knowledge Required to perform basic math, including calculations using fractions, percents, and/or ratios; read a variety of manuals, write documents following prescribed formats, and/or present information to others; and understand complex, multi-step written and oral instructions."
Then
- list: Instructional procedures and practices; Age appropriate student activities; Safety practices and procedures; Conflict resolution; Stages of child development/ behavior.
Skills paragraph: "Skills Required to perform multiple, non-technical tasks with a potential need to upgrade skills in order to meet changing job conditions."
Then
- list: Adhering to safety practices; Operating
Skills Required to perform multiple, non-technical tasks...
then- list.
Ability:
Ability Required to gather and/or collate data; and use job-related equipment....
then- list.
That seems okay; we are not using extra headings beyond h3.
Then Qualifications section: include Education Typical Qualifications, YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE, Preferred Experience, Certificates & Licenses, Continuing Education/Training, Clearances.
We can format as
- lists.
Benefits section: include the benefits info.
We must not include the Salary Schedule line (just reference). We could include it under Benefits? It's not benefit; it's pay reference. Since no actual salary, we should not create Pay section. The line "Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01" is not substantive pay info; it's a reference. According to instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does not state actual salary, so we omit Pay. Benefits we have.
Now produce HTML.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role paragraph: combine overview and link? The overview includes a link to SPS Special Education Department website: but URL missing. We can keep the sentence: "This position is assigned to the Resource service pathway. To learn more about our special education service pathways, please follow this link to the SPS Special Education Department website: ." The link is empty; we could keep as is but it's not substantive. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link placeholder; maybe we should drop it because it's not substantive. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is not substantive (no URL). Could drop. But the sentence about Resource service pathway is substantive. We'll keep that sentence and maybe drop the link part.
Thus About the role: "This position is assigned to the Resource service pathway." plus the rest of overview: "The job of Special Education Assistant/ISE-203 is done for the purpose/s of assisting in the supervision, care and instruction of special needs students in the regular classroom or in a self-contained classroom; assisting in implementing plans for instruction; monitoring student behavior during non-classroom time; providing information to appropriate school personnel; and attending IEP meetings. Special Education Assistant job duties vary according to the school/program needs, i.e., generalist, severe/profound, behavior disorder, hearing impaired, autism, etc."
We'll combine into a paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: list essential functions and other functions.
We'll produce
- with each essential function as
