SPECIAL EDUCATION PARA EDUCATOR - 7 HRS

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: internal application process text, etc. We need to extract relevant content: The posting includes internal/external application dates, wages, special education differential pay, duties & responsibilities (long list), physical requirements, work environment, special qualification desired. Also mention benefits? Not explicit. Pay: wages given: $18.93? Actually "WAGES: $18.93 -New Hires: Entry level rate $14.93/hr.; Current employees in the bargaining unit: Please refer to the salary schedule established by the applicable bargaining group. This special education position meets the $4.00 Special Education Differential pay..." So we have pay info. Schedule? Not given. Benefits? Not given. So we should include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state wages. So include Pay section with that info. Benefits? Not stated, so omit. Schedule? Not stated, omit. About the role? Could use a brief prose summarizing the role? The posting doesn't have an explicit "About the role" section, but we could create one from the description? The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should not invent sections. We need to map existing content to headings: Duties & Responsibilities -> Responsibilities heading. Special Qualification Desired -> Qualifications or Skills? Could be Qualifications. Physical Requirements and Work Environment maybe could be under Requirements? But we need to decide. We have content: Duties & Responsibilities (long list). Physical Requirements of Position. Work Environment. Special Qualification Desired (personal qualities, education, skills needed, experience). Also mention wages/pay. Also mention internal/external application dates? That's metadata; we could fold into a short

  maybe under a generic heading? But we should not create headings for metadata unless we have a section like "Application Information"? Not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put application dates in a

  under About the role? But that's not really about the role. However we could include a short

  about application process under About the role? Might be considered filler? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include a short

  with application dates somewhere, maybe under About the role or as a separate

  before sections. Since we cannot add arbitrary headings, we can just put a

  with that info at top. We must preserve all substantive information: internal/external application dates, wages, special ed differential, duties list, physical requirements, work environment, special qualification desired. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So duties list should be
    • each bullet. The duties list is long with many sentences separated by periods and asterisks. We need to parse them into list items. The original uses asterisks for some emphasis. We'll convert each distinct duty into a
    • . Must preserve all info; we can break at each sentence that starts with a capital after a period? Might be tedious but doable. We also have physical requirements and work environment paragraphs; those are prose, not lists, so use

      . Special Qualification Desired: list of qualities; could be

      • . Pay section: we can put wages info in

        under Pay heading. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some like "HBV X Yes No" etc. That's part of physical requirements; we keep. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Pay is stated, so include Pay. Schedule not stated, omit. Benefits not stated, omit. We need to decide on headings: About the role? Could we have a short paragraph summarizing the role? The posting doesn't have an explicit "About the role". But we could maybe include a short

        under About the role that describes the position: "Provide research based social skills instruction and intervention under supervision of certified teacher..." That's actually part of duties. Might be duplication. Safer to not include About the role if no explicit content. However we could treat the first paragraph before duties as "About the role": The text starts with "Current paras use the internal application process..." that's not about role. Then "Duties & Responsibilities:" heading. So there is no separate About the role. So we should not create About the role heading. Thus headings we will include: Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Physical Requirements and Work Environment?), Qualifications (Special Qualification Desired), Pay. We need to decide if we need Requirements heading. The posting has "Physical Requirements of Position:" and "Work Environment:" which are requirements. Could combine under Requirements heading with subsections? But we can just put them as

        under Requirements heading. Or we could split into two headings? Not in allowed list. So we will put Requirements heading and include both physical requirements and work environment paragraphs. Qualifications heading: include Special Qualification Desired list. Pay heading: include wages info. We also need to include application dates? That's metadata; we can put a short

        before sections, maybe under a generic heading? Not allowed. Could just put a

        at top without heading. That's allowed? The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it." So we can put a

        with application dates at top. Now construct HTML. We need to ensure we use

        for section headings. Let's extract duties list items.
