Job title: Special Education Assistant II (Curriculum Base) Greer Elementary School 2026-27 School Year
We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (knowledge, skills and abilities? maybe Education And Experience), Qualifications (maybe Education And Experience?), Skills (knowledge, skills and abilities), Benefits (they mention ACPS employees enjoy competitive pay and benefits), Pay (not mentioned), Schedule (not mentioned). So we should not include Pay or Schedule if not present.
We need to include Benefits section because they mention benefits: health & dental coverage, retirement, flexible spending accounts, paid time off, wellness program, discounts on gym memberships, and more.
We need to include About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about Albemarle County Public Schools mission etc. That is substantive.
Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
Requirements: maybe Education And Experience (any combination of education and experience equivalent to graduation from high school including basic keyboard and filing training). Also Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (but that could be Skills). We need to decide mapping.
We have "Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:" repeated twice. That's a list of abilities: develop empathetic attitude, learn specialized techniques, communicate, high school graduate or equivalent, willing to seek/maintain CPR certification.
We also have "Education And Experience" section: any combination of education and experience equivalent to graduation from high school including basic keyboard and filing training. Possession of an equivalent combination of training and experience which provides the required knowledge, skills, and abilities for the position.
We also have "Physical Conditions And Nature Of Work" which includes physical demands. Could be part of Requirements or maybe separate but we only have limited headings. Could include under Requirements or maybe under Skills? Probably include under Requirements as part of job requirements.
We must not invent sections like Qualifications if not distinct; but we could use Qualifications for Education And Experience? However they said use headings like Qualifications if posting has real specific content. The posting has Education And Experience, which could be considered Qualifications. We could map Education And Experience to Qualifications. And Knowledge, Skills and Abilities to Skills. Responsibilities to Responsibilities. About the role to About the role. Benefits to Benefits.
We should not include Pay or Schedule.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown.
We need to use

We need to use for each section heading, then content:
for prose,
- for lists. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting didn't have explicit EEO but there is a mission statement about anti-racism etc. That's substantive (about division). We'll keep that. We need to remove duplicated lines: The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities appears twice; we should include only once. We need to ensure we don't include application instructions (none present). Also remove "Be sure to check out our website to learn more about our Division and our Schools." That's maybe not substantive? It's a call to action but could be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal but it's a generic statement. Might be considered filler? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That line is not exactly those categories, but it's a generic promotional line. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not essential info about the job. I'd consider it as not substantive; we can drop it. Also "Are you looking to work in a school division where students are engaged..." that's part of About the role; keep. Now let's extract content. About the role: The introductory paragraph(s) before "General Definition Of Work". Let's capture: "Are you looking to work in a school division where students are engaged in authentic, challenging, and relevant learning experiences, becoming lifelong contributors and leaders in our dynamic and diverse society? Then look no further! In Albemarle County Public Schools, we work together as a team to end the predictive value of race, class, gender, and special capacities for our children’s success through high-quality teaching and learning for all. We seek to build relationships with families and communities to ensure that every student succeeds. We will know every student! We are the first public school division in Virginia, and among the first in the country, to develop and implement an Anti-Racism policy with the expressed purpose of building school communities that share the responsibility to recognize and end racism, eliminate inequitable practices that result in achievement gaps, and support the unique gifts, talents, and interests of every child. In ACPS, “all” really means all." That's the About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (the long list). We need to capture each bullet as
- . The list includes many items separated by semicolons. We'll need to split into separate
- items. We must preserve all detail.
Let's extract the Essential Functions paragraph:
"Develops and maintains pleasant and orderly classroom environment (e.g., maintain instructional materials, design bulletin boards, assist special education teacher and/or students in clean-up activities, etc.);Assists students in the completion of learning tasks assigned by classroom teachers;Leads and/or facilitates teaching of individuals in 1:1, small group, or whole class instruction;Carries out instructional plans as designated by the classroom teacher and if appropriate the student's Individual Educational Plan (IEP);Maintains student training data according to prescribed procedures;Assists individual students as necessary to follow routines, follow directions, follow an individual schedule, and/or complete tasks.

We need to split each item separated by semicolon (;). Some items have internal parentheses and commas; that's fine.
We'll produce
- for each.
Now Requirements: maybe we combine Education And Experience and Physical Conditions? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide.
We have Education And Experience: "Any combination of education and experience equivalent to graduation from high school including basic keyboard and filing training. Possession of an equivalent combination of training and experience which provides the required knowledge, skills, and abilities for the position."
We have Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: list.
We have Physical Conditions And Nature Of Work: details about physical demands.
We could map:
- Requirements: Education And Experience (maybe also Physical Conditions? but we could put Physical Conditions under Requirements as well). However we have also Qualifications heading; maybe we use Qualifications for Education And Experience, and Skills for Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Requirements could be left empty? But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We could decide to not include Requirements if we think it's covered by Qualifications and Skills. But we need to include something for Requirements? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's just examples; we can choose which to include. We should include sections that have real specific content. So we need to decide what belongs to each. We could treat: - About the role: intro. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Qualifications: Education And Experience. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. - Benefits: benefits statement. - Possibly Requirements: Physical Conditions And Nature Of Work (since those are requirements about physical ability). That seems appropriate. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Requirements (for physical conditions). We'll not include Pay or Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract Physical Conditions And Nature Of Work paragraph: "Physical Conditions And Nature Of Work Contacts Duties performed typically in school settings include classroom, gym, cafeteria, auditorium, and recreational areas. Frequent walking, standing, light lifting, up to 80 pounds, and other physical activities necessary for the movement and comfort of disabled students are required. Occasional travel with students on field trips may be necessary. Regular movement of students by wheelchairs and other mechanical devices may be required. Personal hygiene of disabled students in changing catheters, diapers, and clothing may be required. Training and immunization against blood-borne pathogens may be necessary. Occasional lifting of equipment such as audio-visuals weighing up to 50 pounds may be required. Occasional attendance at parent conferences, building-level meetings division-wide meetings, and training activities beyond normal assigned hours is necessary. Daily personal and close contact with children to provide classroom management and learning environment support is required. Regular contact with other staff members, parents, and medical professionals may be required. Contacts with community and division-level staff may require considerable tact and diplomacy. Contact with children requires considerable empathy and understanding of students with disabilities. Must be able to work within various degrees of noise, temperature, and air quality. Interruptions of work are routine. Job responsibilities include both inside and outside duties. Flexibility and patience are required. Must be self-motivated and able to complete job assignments.
