Special Education Paraprofessional

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if there is real specific content. The posting includes: Job Description Code, Division/Department, Pay Grade, Salary Schedule, Pay Type, Retirement, Contract Work Year, Reports To, Evaluation Instrument, Minimum Qualifications (education, certification, etc.), GOAL, Representative Duties & Responsibilities (list), IMPORTANT NOTES (some boilerplate), Minimum Requirements, Fringe Benefits, Adopted/Revised dates. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The "IMPORTANT NOTES" seems like generic boilerplate about job descriptions; we should remove it as it's not substantive specific content? It's generic. The "Minimum Requirements" also generic. The "Fringe Benefits" mentions FICA paid by employee and matched by School District. That's a specific benefit? It's a statement about FICA; maybe we can include Benefits section if there is real specific content. It says "FICA is paid by the employee and matched by the School District. Temporary workers do not qualify for employee benefits." That's somewhat specific but still generic. However we need to include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state a benefit (FICA matching). So we could include a Benefits section with that info. Pay: The posting includes Pay Grade: Paraprofessional Salary Schedule Pay Type: Salaried; Non-Exempt. No actual salary amount. So we should not create Pay section because no specific pay amount. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states Pay Grade and Pay Type but not actual pay. Likely we should not create Pay section because no numeric or range. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Pay Grade and Pay Type, but that's still metadata. Might be considered stating them. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The Pay Grade and Pay Type are metadata; maybe we can fold into a short

under a general "Details" section? But we are only allowed to use headings for specific sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not invent sections like "Details". So we could include Pay section with the Pay Grade and Pay Type? That is substantive? It's not a salary amount but it's pay info. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Pay Grade and Pay Type, so we could include Pay section with that info. However they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including Pay with just those two lines might be thin. But maybe we can combine Pay and Schedule into one? Not allowed; we must use headings exactly as listed. Could we omit Pay and Schedule sections and instead put that info in a short

under something else? Not allowed because we can only use those headings for sections; but we could omit them entirely if we deem they are not substantive enough. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". Pay Grade and Pay Type is specific content, not filler. So we could include Pay section with that info. Similarly Schedule: Contract Work Year: 180 Days; 7.5 hours/day. That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section. Benefits: we have FICA matching. So include Benefits. Now we need sections: About the role? The posting includes a GOAL statement: "Serve as a support to the classroom teacher in providing educational opportunities for each student." That's like About the role. Could also be under About the role. Responsibilities: Representative Duties & Responsibilities list. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education level, certification, Associate or Bachelor’s Degree, or passing of GACE Ethics Assessment and GACE Paraprofessional Assessment required). Also maybe "Possess and maintain valid and appropriate license, certificate and/or credential as may be required for this position." That's more requirements. Qualifications: Could be same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. We could treat Minimum Qualifications as Qualifications. Requirements could be things like "Follow work scheduling and attendance requirements..." etc. But those are more duties. Might be better to have Qualifications for education/certification, and Requirements for other mandatory items like "Possess and maintain valid license", "Follow federal and state laws", etc. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have to use headings exactly as listed if we include them. We could include only Qualifications and Responsibilities and Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Or we could include Requirements as well if we have distinct content. Let's extract content: - About the role: GOAL statement. - Responsibilities: Representative Duties & Responsibilities (list of many duties). - Requirements: Maybe "Possess and maintain valid and appropriate license, certificate and/or credential as may be required for this position." Also "Follow work scheduling and attendance requirements in a regular, predictable and punctual manner." Also "Participate in training programs..." etc. Those are more like expectations but could be considered Requirements. - Qualifications: Education level must be in accordance with federal, state and local guidelines; certification as mandated by the Professional Standards Commission. Associate or Bachelor’s Degree, or passing of the GACE Ethics Assessment and GACE Paraprofessional Assessment required. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from duties but better not to invent. - Benefits: FICA is paid by the employee and matched by the School District. Temporary workers do not qualify for employee benefits. - Pay: Pay Grade: Paraprofessional Salary Schedule; Pay Type: Salaried; Non-Exempt. - Schedule: Contract Work Year: 180 Days; 7.5 hours/day. We also have Reports To: Principal/Designee; Evaluation Instrument: PEI; Retirement: TRS; Division/Department: School Leadership and Operations; Job Description Code: 4M.025; Pay Grade etc. These could be folded into a short

maybe under About the role? But we shouldn't create extra headings. Could we include them in a

under About the role? The About the role section could contain a brief paragraph summarizing role plus those metadata? However the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can put minor metadata into a short

somewhere, not as a heading. So we could include a

after the About the role heading that includes Division/Department, Reports To, etc. Or we could put them in a

under About the role. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all the duties list exactly as given (maybe as bullet points). Also include the qualifications text exactly. Also include requirements text exactly. We need to decide which items go to which section. Let's parse the duties list: It's a long paragraph with sentences separated by periods. We can turn each sentence into a

• . Must preserve all detail. List of duties (from "Representative Duties & Responsibilities"): - Uses appropriate instructional strategies and techniques as prescribed by the appropriate personnel to support learning. - Provide support to selected students in resource, self-contained and/or regular classroom settings. - Assist and adhere to all elements of plans or accommodations as required by the IEP, behavior plan, healthcare plan, etc. - Perform special duties as required for meeting the unique needs of specific student populations; e.g., lifting physically disabled students, toileting/personal hygiene assistance, using physical restraints or other specialized behavior management techniques. - Assist student/teachers in using hardware, software, and other technology including assistive technology. - Provide ongoing feedback to the appropriate personnel regarding student performance including issues potentially impacting the student’s performance. - Conduct small group or individual classroom activities based on lesson plans developed by the teacher. - Assist with student assessment, grading work and tests and collecting data on student progress. - Assist with routine recordkeeping, as prescribed by appropriate personnel. - Assist with preparation of materials for instruction (including the copying/duplicating of materials, construction of displays/bulletin boards, learning centers and manipulative). - Locate, operate and return needed equipment. - Assist with classroom housekeeping. - Assist in ordering and inventory of classroom equipment and materials. - Assist with the supervision of students including classroom and school-wide supervision such as loading/unloading buses. - Assist with the supervision of students including bus monitoring for travel to and from school-related activities. - Possess and maintain valid and appropriate license, certificate and/or credential as may be required for this position. - Follow work scheduling and attendance requirements in a regular, predictable and punctual manner. - Participate in training programs to increase skills and proficiency related to the assignment. - Review current developments, literature and technical source information related to job responsibilities. - Ensure adherence to appropriate safety procedures. - Follow federal and state laws, as well as Board policies. - Perform other duties as assigned. Note: Some of these could be considered requirements rather than duties (like license, follow laws). But they appear in the duties list. We'll keep them as duties. Now the "Minimum Qualifications" paragraph: "Education level must be in accordance with federal, state and local guidelines; certification as mandated by the Professional Standards Commission. Associate or Bachelor’s Degree, or passing of the GACE Ethics Assessment and GACE Paraprofessional Assessment required." We could put that under Qualifications. The "GOAL": "Serve as a support to the classroom teacher in providing educational opportunities for each student." That's About the role. Now "Minimum Requirements" section: "In filling a vacant position, preferred or required credentials regarding education, training, experience, and other bona fide occupational qualifications may be established. The credentials shown in this job description may be interpreted only as the minimum criteria existing at the time the description was developed. Other bona fide occupational qualifications and criteria may be utilized as needed in the selection process." That's generic boilerplate; we should remove as it's not specific. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, boilerplate. So we omit Minimum Requirements. "IMPORTANT NOTES" also boilerplate; omit. "Fringe Benefits": "FICA is paid by the employee and matched by the School District. Temporary workers do not qualify for employee benefits." That's specific enough for Benefits. "Adopted: April 20, 2000 Revised: March 2005, May 2007, July 2008, January 2011, July 2011, May 2015, February 2017, July 2019, July 2023, July 2024, July 2025" - This is metadata; we could fold into a short

  maybe under About the role or separate? Not a heading. We'll include as a short

  after About the role maybe. "Reports To: Principal/Designee" and "Evaluation Instrument: PEI" and "Retirement: TRS" and "Division/Department: School Leadership and Operations" and "Job Description Code: 4M.025" and "Pay Grade: Paraprofessional Salary Schedule" etc. These are metadata; we can fold into a short

  under About the role or maybe a separate

  before sections. The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can create a
