We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Objective, Commitment To Equity, DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES, Reporting Relationships, Required EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE, Preferred Experience..., LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, Physical Requirements, Conditions Of Employment, Note, Verification..., Notice of Non-Discrimination (but we must remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate). The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the Notice of Non-Discrimination and related contact info. Also drop "Verification of identity..." maybe considered legal? It's not EEO but still legal requirement; but likely we should keep? The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The verification of identity and authorization to work is legal but maybe considered boilerplate; but it's substantive? It says "Verification of identity and authorization to work in the United States must be completed. The District does not currently provide visa sponsorship." That's legal but maybe we keep? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate; but that is a condition of employment. Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific. However they said "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So we should remove that verification paragraph. Also drop "Note The above job description..." maybe considered boilerplate but it's a note; could be removed? It's generic but still part of description. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's not EEO. Safer to keep? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The note is substantive? It says specific duties may vary. That's substantive. So keep. We need sections: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to these headings. The posting has sections: Position Objective (could be About the role). Commitment To Equity (maybe About the role or separate? Could be part of About the role). DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES -> Responsibilities. Reporting Relationships maybe part of Responsibilities or Requirements? Could be under Responsibilities. Required EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE -> Requirements or Qualifications. Preferred Experience -> Qualifications? Could be under Qualifications. LICENSING REQUIREMENTS -> Requirements. KNOWLEDGE -> Requirements or Knowledge? Could be under Requirements. SKILLS -> Skills. Physical Requirements -> maybe under Requirements or separate? Could be under Requirements. Conditions Of Employment -> Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes pay range, hours, benefits eligibility. So we need Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections if present. Indeed they have pay range, hours, benefits eligibility. So we should create sections: Pay, Schedule, Benefits. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Para Educator III. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Position Objective: "The position of Para Educator III is done for the purpose of assisting and supporting students as identified with individual learning needs for maximizing student success." Commitment To Equity: "The Bellevue School District is committed to a diverse workforce representative of our students, one that embraces and models cultural competency as an international community." We could combine these into About the role section. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll make

      Reports directly to and is supervised by building administrator, receives direction from assigned certificated staff.

      Requirements

      Maybe combine Education & Experience, Licensing, Knowledge, Skills, Physical Requirements? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can use them if we have content. We need to decide which sections to include. We have content for: - About the role (Position Objective + Commitment) - Responsibilities (Duties + Reporting) - Qualifications (Education & Experience, Preferred Experience) - Skills (Skills) - Knowledge maybe under Requirements or Qualifications? Could be under Requirements. - Licensing Requirements maybe under Requirements. - Physical Requirements maybe under Requirements. - Pay, Schedule, Benefits. We should not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Education & Experience, Preferred Experience, Licensing, Knowledge, Skills, Physical Requirements into a single "Requirements" section with sublists? But we need to use

      for section headings only; inside we can have

      and

        . We could have multiple

        sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule, Benefits. That seems reasonable. Let's allocate: About the role: Position Objective + Commitment. Responsibilities: Duties list + Reporting Relationships. Requirements: Education & Experience, Preferred Experience, Licensing Requirements, Knowledge, Skills, Physical Requirements. Could be a big section with multiple
          lists each preceded by a

          heading? But we cannot use headings inside; we could use

          bold? Not allowed. We could just list all items in one big

            but that loses categorization. Better to keep separate

            for each: Qualifications, Skills, etc. But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. However we have a lot of distinct categories; maybe we can combine Education & Experience and Preferred Experience into Qualifications; Licensing Requirements maybe also under Qualifications; Knowledge and Skills could be under Skills? But Skills heading is separate. We could have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Qualifications (Education & Experience + Preferred + Licensing) - Skills (Knowledge + Skills + Physical Requirements?) but Physical Requirements is not skill. Could be under Requirements. Maybe we do: About the role Responsibilities Qualifications Skills Pay Schedule Benefits That's 7 sections. Might be okay. Let's define: Qualifications: Education & Experience, Preferred Experience, Licensing Requirements. Skills: Knowledge, Skills (the SKILLS list), Physical Requirements? Physical Requirements is more about ability; could be
