Special Program Para 2, ICSP 1:1 18939-2026

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include 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 like appreciation statements, application instructions, EEO, etc. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Benefits/Compensation section with salary info, time off, benefits, retirement. So we can include Benefits section. Pay? It mentions salary range but not specific numbers; says "New employees start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range." That's vague but still some info about pay. However rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary info (though not specific numbers). It also mentions schedule: "6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits we have. Pay we have some info but it's vague; still it's stating something about pay. Probably we should include Pay section with that info. However rule: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The posting says "New employees start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range. However, employees with verified prior years of service ... may receive experience credit toward salary placement. Salary schedules can be accessed here." That's not filler; it's actual info albeit referencing external schedule. So we can include Pay section with that text. Now we need sections: About the role (maybe a brief description). The posting includes description: "Special Program Paraeducator 2, Integrated Communication & Sensory Program 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year This is a one-on-one position". That's about the role. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties from Essential Functions and other duties. Requirements: maybe qualifications? But we have Qualifications section separate. The posting has "Qualifications" bullet list. Also "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities". Also "Other Requirements". Also "Essential Functions". We need to map to headings: Qualifications, Skills, Requirements? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have: - About the role: description of position (title, hours, one-on-one, program). - Responsibilities: list of duties (Essential Functions, etc.) - Requirements: maybe the "Qualifications Documentation verifying a high school diploma..." etc. That's qualifications. But we also have separate Qualifications heading. Could combine? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Qualifications and Requirements into one? But we have both headings available. We need to decide. We have content for Qualifications: education, experience, etc. We have content for Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. We have Other Requirements: physical requirements. We could map: - Qualifications: education and experience requirements. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. - Requirements: maybe Other Requirements (physical) plus maybe other mandatory items like ability to attend training, etc. But those are also in Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Hmm. Better to follow typical structure: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Requirements if distinct. Let's extract: About the role: "Special Program Paraeducator 2, Integrated Communication & Sensory Program 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year This is a one-on-one position Fair Labor Standards Act Status: Non-Exempt". Also maybe mention Vancouver Public Schools? But that's boilerplate? Might be okay to include employer name. The instruction: do not repeat job title as heading but can include in paragraph. So we can include that. Responsibilities: list from Essential Functions and other duties: treat co-workers with dignity, role model, flexible, team member, assist teacher implementing IEPs, participate in team meetings, monitor collect data, work with special ed teacher for academic support, sensory integration, OT, speech/lang, provide mainstream support, willingness to learn about autism, assist students with self-regulation, provide instructional assistance as directed, subject areas list, carry out behavior management plans, produce teaching materials, assist with data entry, grade/correct papers, observe students entering/leaving, intervene for safety, attend training meetings, perform other tasks as assigned. Also earlier: "Ability to learn and use a computer monitor, keyboard, and appropriate adaptive technologies" etc. That's more skills. We'll put responsibilities as bullet list. Qualifications: education: high school diploma or GED AND one of: associate's degree (90 quarter, 60 semester) OR 72 quarter or 48 semester credits from accredited institution OR ETS ParaPro Assessment result of 461 or higher. Experience: one year of related experience working with children in an educational setting preferred. Successful experience as part of an educational team preferred. Experience demonstrating excellent interpersonal skills and teamwork. Possess excellent problem solving, analytical, conflict resolution skills and ability to think quickly. Experience working with children with moderate to severe disabilities preferred. That's a mix of qualifications and skills. But we can treat as Qualifications. Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities list: ability to communicate with diverse backgrounds, act upon evasive/aggressive behavior, attend mandatory weekend training and pass CPI de-escalation/physical restraint training, learn and use computer monitor/keyboard/adaptive tech, successfully implement educational programs and manage student behavior with direction, maintain confidentiality, be flexible with tasks/schedules, develop relationships with children with disabilities, use non-verbal strategies to communicate, redirect, de-escalate. Other Requirements: physical: ability to lift 50 pounds, lift/move/physically restrain child of size required, independently and safely escort students around building/grounds, observe behavior visually and by listening and communicate observations, regular attendance. We could put physical requirements under Requirements heading. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements (physical), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check if any section would be empty/filler. All have content. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

for headings. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We must not include boilerplate like appreciation statements, application instructions, etc. So we need to strip those. Let's craft. First, About the role paragraph: combine the title, hours, schedule, one-on-one, FLSA status.

Now Benefits: we need to capture the Benefits/Compensation section. Paragraph: 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.

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 could make a
  for benefits but it's mostly prose. We'll use

  for each paragraph. Now Pay: we already included salary info in Benefits? Actually we separated Pay and Benefits. The posting lumps salary & time off under "Salary &
