Special Education Paraeducator
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: internal consideration date? That's metadata maybe minor; we can fold into short
or drop? It says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The internal consideration date is metadata; we can include as a short
maybe before sections. Also "Start Date: ASAP" is schedule? Could be part of schedule? Might be separate. We'll include schedule details: Work Schedule: Monday to Friday, 7:30-2:30, 32.5 hours per week, Student contact days. Also "Start Date: ASAP" could be part of schedule or separate. We'll include schedule section with that info. Pay: $24.54 per hour. Benefits: Benefits are in accordance with the labor agreement covering Paraeducators - link. Qualifications: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements? The spec says sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. "About the role" could be a brief prose summarizing position. We have position description: Special Education Paraeducator. Could put a short paragraph about role. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe required qualifications? Or could be "Required Qualifications". Qualifications could be preferred? But we have both required and preferred. Could put required under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications? Or combine. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Sections)." So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We'll put required qualifications under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. Skills: maybe communication, interpersonal, confidentiality, ability to lift, etc. Could extract skills from responsibilities and qualifications. But we must not invent. We can list skills explicitly mentioned: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, Ability to maintain confidentiality, Ability to lift up to 70 pounds and restrain students, Ability to complete required training. Also maybe behavior management? That's preferred. We'll include skills section with those. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract details: - Position: Special Education Paraeducator (but we don't repeat as heading) - Work Schedule: Monday to Friday, 7:30-2:30, 32.5 hours per week, Student contact days - Start Date: ASAP - Pay: $24.54 per hour - Benefits: Benefits are in accordance with the labor agreement covering Paraeducators - https://www.isd622.org/about/human-resources - Required Qualifications: * High school diploma or GED and one of the following: - AA, AS, AAS (or higher) degree, OR - Two years of post-secondary coursework (60 semester credits or 90 quarter credits) from an accredited institution applicable toward a bachelors degree, OR - Passing score on ParaEducator test (ParaPro Assessment). Contact info. * Ability to lift up to 70 pounds and restrain students in emergency situations * Strong communication and interpersonal skills * Ability to maintain confidentiality * Completion of any required training necessary for the position. - Preferred Qualifications: * Bachelor's degree or equivalent (preferably in Education) * Education assistant/paraprofessional or teaching experience * Experience working with individuals with disabilities * Experience and/or training in behavior management - Responsibilities (list): * Assist in the instruction of students by providing support and practical training to students in various subject matters * Provide assistance to the teacher by performing such duties as: - Implementing instructional plans and assisting with the adaptation/modification of the curriculum as directed by the teacher - Preparing class schedules - Organizing learning materials - Assisting with classroom activities * Assist educational staff in performing duties to meet the specific needs of students including, but not limited to: - Redirecting inappropriate behaviors of students in classrooms - Preparing food for and/or feeding students - Assisting in the physical movement of students - Diapering and toileting students - Escorting students to vocational training jobs - Chaperoning student community outings - Supervising students during bus loading and unloading * Promote a safe and productive learning environment for students, ensuring that student needs are met by communicating with other staff about student needs * Monitor and document the educational progress of students by performing evaluations of student progress and needs * Record data pertaining to Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) * Maintain confidentiality regarding students and the educational setting at all times * Other related duties as assigned * May be regularly required to walk throughout a building and may occasionally be required to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds with assistance or push up to 90 pounds, and must be able to restrain students with proper training and assistance when needed, and may be required to stoop, kneel, crouch or crawl. We also have EEO statement: "Independent School District No, 622, North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale, does not discriminated on the basis of sex and prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity. ISD 622 is an equal opportunity employer and supports an inclusive workplace environment." This is boilerplate EEO; we should remove. Also internal consideration date: "Internal consideration is given until 3:30 pm on September 22, 2026." That's metadata; we can include as a short
maybe before sections. Now produce HTML fragment:
Internal consideration is given until 3:30 pm on September 22, 2026.
Then sections. We need to decide order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. About the role: maybe a short paragraph describing the position: Special Education Paraeducator supporting instruction, etc. We can synthesize from responsibilities but must not invent. Could say: "The Special Education Paraeducator supports teachers and students in special education settings by assisting with instruction, preparing materials, managing behaviors, and providing personal care." That's somewhat generic but derived from responsibilities. It's not invented? It's a summary; risk of summarizing away detail? The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Summarizing might be considered summarizing away detail. Better to avoid a summary; maybe we can omit About the role section if no specific content beyond the title. But we need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "About the role" paragraph; it's just the position title. So we should not create About the role section. Thus we start with Responsibilities. But we need to follow the instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's examples, not mandatory to include all. So we can include only those with content.
Thus we will have:

Schedule
Monday to Friday, 7:30 am‑2:30 pm, 32.5 hours per week, student contact days. Start date: ASAP.
We also need to include the internal consideration date maybe as abefore sections. Check for any duplicated lines: Ensure we didn't repeat. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: Did we miss any? Let's verify. From responsibilities: we captured all bullet points. Did we miss "Assist in the instruction of students by providing support and practical training to students in various subject matters" - yes first bullet. "Provide assistance to the teacher by performing such duties as:" then sub-bullets: implementing instructional plans, preparing class schedules, organizing learning materials, assisting with classroom activities. Good. "Assist educational staff in performing duties to meet the specific needs of students including, but not limited to:" list: redirecting inappropriate behaviors, preparing food/feeding, assisting physical movement, diapering/toileting, escorting to vocational training jobs, chaperoning community outings, supervising bus loading/unloading. Good. "Promote a safe and productive learning environment..." captured. "Monitor and document the educational progress of students by performing evaluations of student progress and needs" captured. "Record data pertaining to Individual Educational Plans (IEPs)" captured. "Maintain confidentiality regarding students and the educational setting at all times" captured. "Other related duties as assigned" captured. "May be regularly required to walk throughout a building and may occasionally be required to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds with assistance or push up to 90 pounds, and must be able to restrain students with proper training and assistance when needed, and may be required to stoop, kneel, crouch or crawl." captured. Now required qualifications: we captured high school diploma/GED plus one of three options, ability to lift up to 70 pounds and restrain students, strong communication/interpersonal skills, ability to maintain confidentiality, completion of required training. Did we include the contact info for ParaPro? It's part of the option; we could include as note inside that bullet. Might be considered substantive; we should preserve. So we need to include the contact info: "(For more information on the ParaPro Assessment, contact Educational Testing Service at 1-800-772-9476 or www.ets.org/parapro)". We'll include that as part of that bullet. Preferred qualifications: captured bachelor's degree, education assistant/paraprofessional or teaching experience, experience working with individuals with disabilities, experience/training in behavior management. Skills: we need to list skills explicitly mentioned: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, Ability to maintain confidentiality, Ability to lift up to 70 pounds and restrain students, Ability to complete required training. Also maybe "Ability to restrain students with proper training and assistance" but that's similar. We'll keep as above. Now check for any other substantive info: The posting also includes "Independent School District No, 622, North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale, does not discriminated on the basis of sex and prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity. ISD 622 is an equal opportunity employer and supports an inclusive workplace environment." That's EEO boilerplate; we remove. Now ensure we didn't include any placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft. We'll include
for internal consideration date. Make sure to use proper non-breaking spaces? Not needed. We'll use
- for lists.
For nested lists (like sub-bullets under Provide assistance to teacher), we can nest
- inside <
