Special Program Para 1, Special Education Preschool 1:1 18936-2026

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Need to parse posting. Job title: "Special Program Paraeducator 1, Special Education Preschool 2.5 hours per day, 9 months per year". Not to repeat as heading. We need sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits". Pay? The posting mentions salary: "New employees start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range. However, employees with verified prior years of service...". That's some pay info but not specific numbers. It says "Salary schedules can be accessed here." That's not specific content; it's a reference. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does mention salary info but not specific numbers; still it's about pay. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about salary (New employees start at minimum hourly rate...). That's stating something about pay, albeit vague. Should we include Pay section? It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The pay info is minimal but still substantive? It says "Salary & Time Off:" then details. That's about benefits/compensation. There's also Benefits section with health, dental etc. So we could combine Pay and Benefits into a "Compensation and Benefits" section? But headings are prescribed: we can use Benefits heading. Pay heading separate maybe not needed if not specific. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Benefits (health, dental etc). So we can include Benefits. Pay: it states salary info but not specific numbers; still states something about pay. Might be okay to include Pay. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we include both Pay and Benefits, that's two sections. Could combine into Benefits? But they said use headings exactly as listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include only those with content. Let's see content: About the role: we have description: "Special Program Paraeducator 1, Special Education Preschool 2.5 hours per day, 9 months per year This is a one-on-one position, Tuesday-Friday, AM Session". That's about role. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: The Essential Functions list many duties. That's responsibilities. Requirements: maybe qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications Documentation verifying a high school diploma or GED AND One of the following: ..." plus "One year of related experience..." etc. That's qualifications. Also "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" and "Other Requirements". Those could be Skills and Requirements. We need to map: Qualifications heading for education/experience requirements. Skills heading for knowledge, skills, abilities. Requirements heading maybe for other requirements like physical abilities? But we have "Other Requirements". Could treat as Requirements. Benefits: we have Benefits/Compensation section with salary & time off, benefits, retirement. Pay: maybe we could put salary info under Pay, but we already have Benefits covering salary & time off. Might be redundant. The rule says prefer few substantive sections. So maybe just Benefits section covering compensation and benefits. No separate Pay. Schedule: posting mentions "2.5 hours per day, 9 months per year", "Tuesday-Friday, AM Session". That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements (Other Requirements), Benefits, Schedule. Check if any content for each: About the role: we have the brief description at start: "Special Program Paraeducator 1, Special Education Preschool 2.5 hours per day, 9 months per year This is a one-on-one position, Tuesday-Friday, AM Session". That's about role. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. Qualifications: the block starting with "Qualifications Documentation verifying a high school diploma or GED AND..." plus "One year of related experience..." etc. Skills: "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" block. Requirements: "Other Requirements" block. Benefits: "Benefits/Compensation" block. Schedule: maybe we already used schedule in About the role; but we could still have Schedule section with details: "2.5 hours per day, 9 months per year, Tuesday-Friday, AM Session". However that duplicates. Might be better to put schedule in About the role and not create separate Schedule section to avoid thin section. The rule: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can omit Schedule section if its content is already covered. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep it in About the role. That's fine. Thus output HTML with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements, Benefits. Now format: Use

for each heading. Then content: use

for prose,

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all details from each block. Let's extract each block precisely. About the role: The first sentence: "Special Program Paraeducator 1, Special Education Preschool 2.5 hours per day, 9 months per year This is a one-on-one position, Tuesday-Friday, AM Session". Also maybe include "Fair Labor Standards Act Status: Non-Exempt"? That's metadata but not boilerplate; could be included in About the role as a short sentence. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can include FLSA status in About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph: "Special Program Paraeducator 1, Special Education Preschool, 2.5 hours per day, 9 months per year. This is a one-on-one position, Tuesday‑Friday, AM session. Fair Labor Standards Act Status: Non‑Exempt." Now Responsibilities: The Essential Functions list. Need to capture each bullet as

• . The list includes many items separated by periods. We'll need to split into list items. Let's copy the list: - Treat co-workers, supervisors, students, parents and others with dignity and respect at all times - Serve as a positive role model for students, and practices the behaviors that are expected of our students - Work in a flexible and cooperative manner - Work as a team member to assist the teacher in implementing and evaluating goals and objectives on individual student IEPs - Participate in team meetings as appropriate for the purpose of providing observational input or acquiring information pertinent to the position - Manage behavior and assist students during class activities in small groups or individually. Provide instructional assistance as directed by appropriate certificated staff. Subject areas may include academic subjects, basic life skills, social skills, community access, personal hygiene, including toileting, swimming, communication, physical and /or occupational therapy exercises and job skills training. This will include assisting the teacher with preparing materials for lessons and maintaining data collection records as assigned. - De-escalate students having an emotional/behavioral crisis. Carry out behavior management plans for individual students as appropriate. - Dispense medication to students following district policy - Care for the personal hygiene needs of students with disabilities, including but not limited to, feeding, diapering, toileting, bathing, lifting, tube feeding, suctioning and other health related issues with appropriate training - Produce and assemble teaching materials as directed by appropriate certificated staff.

• . Some items have multiple sentences; that's okay. Now Qualifications: The block: "Qualifications Documentation verifying a high school diploma or GED ANDOne of the following: official transcripts verifying an Associate’s degree (90 quarter, 60 semester) OR 72 quarter or 48 semester credits from an accredited university, college, community college or business school; OR ETS ParaPro Assessment result of 461 or higher One year of related experience working with children in an educational setting preferredSuccessful experience as part of an educational team preferredExperience which demonstrates excellent interpersonal skills and skills in working effectively in a team environment, providing support to achieve the desired goal(s) for the classroom and/or program areaPossess excellent problem solving, analytical, and conflict resolution skills and ability to think quicklyExperience working with children with moderate to severe disabilities preferred" We need to preserve the content exactly, but we can format as prose or list. It's a mix of requirements. Could be a

  with the text. However there are line breaks missing; we need to keep the meaning. We'll output as a paragraph preserving the text but maybe add spaces for readability. The original had no spaces after "AND". We'll add spaces for readability but not change meaning? Might be considered altering. Safer to keep exact string? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Adding spaces is not inventing or summarizing; it's just formatting. Probably okay. We'll output as a

  with the qualifications text. Now Skills: "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Ability to effectively communicate with and appreciate individuals from diverse, socio-economic backgroundsAbility to act upon evasive and aggressive behavior of studentsAbility to attend mandatory training on the weekends and successfully pass the district CPI, de-escalation/physical restraint trainingAbility to learn and use a computer monitor, keyboard, and appropriate adaptive technologiesAbility to successfully implement educational programs and manage student behavior with direction from the teacherAbility to maintain confidentialityAbility to be flexible with assigned tasks and schedulesAbility to develop relationships and supportive roles with children who possess mental or physical disabilities" Again we can put in a

  . Now Requirements: "Other Requirements Ability to sit on the floor to work with childrenAbility to lift, move, physically restrain a child of the size required by the jobAbility to independently and safely escort students around the school building, grounds, and in the communityAbility to observe the behavior of students, both visually and by listening and to communicate those observations with other appropriate service providersRegular attendance to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the position to achieve program requirements" We'll put in a

  . Now Benefits: The block: "Benefits/Compensation Salary & Time Off: New employees start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range. However, employees with verified prior years of service in a similar occupational status from other Washington School Districts or Educational Service Districts may receive experience credit toward salary placement. Salary schedules can be accessed here. Vancouver Public Schools also offers paid holidays and paid time off, including sick, vacation, personal, and bereavement leave, as detailed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (VAESP CBA). Benefits: Employees anticipated to work at least 630 hours may be eligible for health, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, life, and disability insurance benefits. Detailed eligibility information can be found here. Retirement: Employees may be eligible for retirement benefits through the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) based on position FTE. Detailed information can be found here." We need to preserve all info. We'll put in a

  . Could also split into sentences but it's fine. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "We appreciate your interest..." etc. Those are to be removed. Also remove "All applications are considered..." etc. Also remove "Internal applicants must have official transcripts..." etc. Those are application instructions; we
