We need to output HTML fragment with sections: we need to identify headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each section heading only if there is real content.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove contact info for discrimination etc. Also remove "PURPOSE STATEMENT" maybe treat as About the role? The purpose statement is a paragraph describing role. So we can put that under About the role.
Essential Functions list: many sentences separated by periods. We need to convert to list items. Probably each bullet is a function. We'll split by sentences? The text: "Provide instructional support for IEP students by attending to the program needs including reading, writing, math and social/behavior skills.Provide support and structure for students needing behavior and social skills support.Assist students in developing functional skills leading to independence.Implement and reinforce social skills training programs.Assist with personal care tasks for students, including but not limited to toileting and feeding. Assist certificated staff with required record-keeping, development of materials and preparation of teaching aids.Learn instructional techniques under the direction of a teacher and independently carry out instructional programs developed by the supervising teacher.Collaboratively work with classroom teachers.Assist in assessing students.Perform routine tasks in monitoring and assisting student progress in the classroom and other school activities.Assist certificated staff with required record keeping.Promote positive public relations when communicating with the public."
We can treat each sentence as a bullet.
Other Functions: "Perform routine classroom and building clerical tasks as needed.May serve on various district committees and/or departmental work teams.Perform related duties consistent with the scope and intent of the position." Could be part of Responsibilities as well.
Reporting Relationships: maybe not a required heading; we could include under About the role or maybe under Qualifications? Probably not needed; we can omit if not matching headings. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have sections: About the role (purpose statement), Responsibilities (essential functions + other functions), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (knowledge, skills and abilities), Skills (maybe separate? Actually they have a "Skills" heading later but it's just EEO statement; we should not include that as Skills because it's boilerplate. There's also "Licenses/Special Requirements" which could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll incorporate into Requirements.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting includes "TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT Para Educator on the PSE Classified Salary Schedule A 6.5 hours per day, 5 days per week, 189 days per school year; PSE Salary Schedule, Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave". So we have Pay (PSE Salary Schedule), Schedule (6.5 hours per day, 5 days per week, 189 days per school year), Benefits (Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave). So we should create sections for Pay, Schedule, Benefits.
We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We'll produce HTML:
