Special Program Para 2, ICSP 1:1 18767-2026
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some boilerplate like "We appreciate your interest..." etc. Those are application instructions? Actually they are about selection process, reference checks, etc. Those might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The paragraphs about application process, reference checks, background investigation, etc. Might be considered application instructions. We should remove them. Also the part about "All district employees are encouraged..." etc. That's also boilerplate. Remove.
We need to keep substantive info: position details (hours per day, months per year, one-on-one, FLSA status), qualifications (documentation verifying high school diploma or GED AND one of the following...), experience preferences, knowledge/skills/abilities, other requirements (lift 50 pounds etc.), essential functions (list), benefits/compensation (salary range, benefits eligibility, retirement, time off). Also maybe "Fair Labor Standards Act Status: Non-Exempt" is part of About the role.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe heading "About the role") containing description of position: Special Program Paraeducator 2, Integrated Communication & Sensory Program, 2 hours per day, 9 months per year, one-on-one, FLSA Non-Exempt.
Qualifications: list of education documentation and experience preferences.
Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list.
Other Requirements: list (lifting etc.)
Essential Functions: list.
Benefits/Compensation: heading maybe "Benefits and Compensation" or "Benefits/Compensation". Use heading as per allowed: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes salary range and benefits info. So we can have a Benefits section (maybe also Pay). Since they gave salary range and benefits details, we can include both under Benefits heading. Or separate Pay and Benefits? The instruction: Use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Benefits and Pay headings. But we have both salary and benefits. Could put Pay heading for salary range, Benefits heading for benefits info. Or combine? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into Benefits section that includes both salary and benefits. But they gave separate headings suggestions; we can use Benefits heading and include salary and benefits details. That's fine.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range and benefits info, so we can have Benefits section.
We should not create Schedule section because not given specific schedule beyond 2 hours per day, 9 months per year (that's about role). Could be considered schedule but it's part of role description. We'll keep in About the role.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap each section:
About the role
then ... maybe include bullet list? The role description is not a list; it's prose. Could be a paragraph.
Qualifications: we have a list of items: documentation verifying high school diploma or GED AND one 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. Then experience preferences: One year of related experience working with children in an educational setting preferred; Successful experience as part of an educational team preferred; Experience 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 area; Possess excellent problem solving, analytical, and conflict resolution skills and ability to think quickly; Experience working with children with moderated to severe disabilities preferred.
We could format as
- each bullet.
Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list each ability.
Other Requirements: list each requirement.
Essential Functions: list each function.
Benefits/Compensation: we have salary range: "New employees will start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range. However, employees who have verified prior years of service in a similar occupational status from other Washington School Districts or Education School Districts, may receive experience credit towards salary placement. Salary schedules can be accessed here." Benefits: "Employees who are anticipated to work at least 630 hours may be eligible for health, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, life, and disability insurance benefits. Detailed information, including further eligibility criteria, can be found here." Retirement: "Employees may be eligible for retirement benefits through the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS). Eligibility is based on FTE. Detailed information can be found here." Time Off: "Vancouver Public Schools offers paid holidays and paid time off, including but not limited to, sick, vacation, personal, and bereavement leave. Additional negotiated leave options can be found in the associated Comprehensive Professional Agreement (CPA) for this position VAESP CPA."
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the sentences as is, maybe break into bullet list for benefits? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can turn benefits into a list.
But we must not lose any detail. So we can create
- for each benefit item: health, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, life, and disability insurance benefits. Also mention eligibility: anticipated to work at least 630 hours. Also mention retirement eligibility via DRS based on FTE. Also mention paid holidays and paid time off (sick, vacation, personal, bereavement). Also mention additional negotiated leave options in CPA.
Also mention salary range details: start at minimum hourly rate, experience credit, salary schedules accessible.
We could put salary info in a
maybe, but it's not a list. Could be a paragraph.
We'll produce:

But note nested lists may be okay but instruction says use - for any list. Nested is still list. Could flatten: but we need to preserve the AND condition. Could keep as one bullet with sub-bullets. It's okay.
Alternatively we could avoid nested and just list each option as separate bullet with preceding text. But we need to keep the AND condition: high school diploma or GED AND one of the following. Could be two bullets: first bullet: Documentation verifying a high school diploma or GED. Second bullet: One 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.
