for each heading. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Opening: "Redan MS is seeking an SPED Paraprofessional. The ideal candidate should be knowledgeable and have a strong desire to help students learn. The primary responsibility is to implement, deliver and promote high academic expectations to all students. The ideal candidate must work collaboratively with team members and must possess excellent written and verbal communication skills."
- Then "Salary Grade/Schedule: Unified 108 Salary Schedules: Click Here The material contained herein is subject to change. All open positions offered by the DeKalb County School District are subject to specific job requirements. The DeKalb County School District is an equal opportunity employer, and all hiring decisions are subject to federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations."
- Then "Title: Paraprofessional, Special Education Supports teachers in meeting the educational, behavioral, and social emotional needs of students in the classroom and community."
- Then "Essential Functions" list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We'll need to put them under Responsibilities perhaps.
- Then "Education And/Or Experience" details.
- Then date "02/16/2026" maybe posting date.
We need sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education/experience maybe), Qualifications (maybe certificate), Skills (communication, collaboration), Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? There's "Salary Grade/Schedule: Unified 108 Salary Schedules: Click Here". That's some pay info but not explicit amount. It says "Salary Grade/Schedule: Unified 108 Salary Schedules: Click Here". That is a reference to schedule; we could include Pay section with that info? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Salary Grade/Schedule: Unified 108 Salary Schedules: Click Here". That's a statement about pay grade/schedule. So we could include a Pay section with that sentence. However we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is specific: Unified 108 Salary Schedules. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule? Not mentioned besides maybe schedule implied? Not explicit. So no Schedule section.
Benefits? Not mentioned.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (certificate), Skills (communication, collaboration), Pay.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: equal opportunity employer, material subject to change, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The first paragraph: "Redan MS is seeking an SPED Paraprofessional. The ideal candidate should be knowledgeable and have a strong desire to help students learn. The primary responsibility is to implement, deliver and promote high academic expectations to all students. The ideal candidate must work collaboratively with team members and must possess excellent written and verbal communication skills."
We could keep that as prose
.
Responsibilities: The Essential Functions list. Let's list each bullet as
- . We need to preserve all details.
Essential Functions sentences:
1.

We'll put these as

under Responsibilities.
Requirements: Education And/Or Experience details.
Text: "Education And/Or Experience High school diploma or GED and pass the GACE Paraprofessional Assessment, required. OR - An associate degree or higher from a Georgia Professional Standards Commission-approved accredited college or university is required. OR - Minimum of sixty (60) semester hours or ninety (90) quarter hours of college courses completed with a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 2.0 or higher from a Georgia Professional Standards Commission-approved accredited college or university. A valid Professional Standards Commission-approved paraprofessional certificate is required."
We could treat this as Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where.
We have education/experience, certificate. Could put education/experience under Requirements, certificate under Qualifications, and skills under Skills (communication, collaboration). Also maybe knowledge? But we have "knowledgeable" etc.
Let's parse:
- Knowledgeable (ideal candidate should be knowledgeable) - could be skill.
- Strong desire to help students learn - maybe not a skill but attribute.
- Work collaboratively with team members - skill.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills - skill.
Thus Skills section: list those.
Requirements: education/experience.
Qualifications: certificate.
Pay: "Salary Grade/Schedule: Unified 108 Salary Schedules: Click Here". We'll put as maybe.
We also have date "02/16/2026". Could be posting date; maybe we can include as a short
under About the role or separate? The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include date as a short
maybe after About the role.
We need to remove boilerplate: "The material contained herein is subject to change. All open positions offered by the DeKalb County School District are subject to specific job requirements. The DeKalb County School District is an equal opportunity employer, and all hiring decisions are subject to federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations." Remove.
Also remove "Title: Paraprofessional, Special Education Supports teachers in meeting the educational, behavioral, and social emotional needs of students in the classroom and community." This is essentially a description of the role; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? It's a title description; we could treat as part of About the role. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could add that sentence to About the role.
Let's incorporate: "Title: Paraprofessional, Special Education Supports teachers in meeting the educational, behavioral, and social emotional needs of students in the classroom and community." This is a description; we can merge.
Thus About the role paragraph could be: "Redan MS is seeking an SPED Paraprofessional. The ideal candidate should be knowledgeable and have a strong desire to help students learn. The primary responsibility is to implement, deliver and promote high academic expectations to all students. The ideal candidate must work collaboratively with team members and must possess excellent written and verbal communication skills. Title: Paraprofessional, Special Education Supports teachers in meeting the educational, behavioral, and social emotional needs of students in the classroom and community."
But maybe better to keep as separate
about role and then a
for title description. However we want to avoid too many thin sections; but we can keep as separate paragraphs under About the role heading.
We'll have

or drop it. It's minor metadata (posting date). We'll include a short
