Student Support Assistant SPED
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes: - Work Calendar: Hourly, FTE 0.7375 (Up to 29.5 Hours per Week) -> schedule info. - Contract Status: Non-Contract, FLSA Status: Non-Exempt, Reports To: Administrative Designee. - Starting Wage: $17.50 hourly -> pay. - Salary Schedule/Lane: 86/J. - Benefits: Not Eligible. - Anticipated Start Date: 09/21/2026. - Priority Screen Date: 09/08/2026. - Multiple Positions Available Across District. - Job Summary paragraph. - Minimum Required Qualifications list. - Preferred Qualifications list. - Essential Functions & Responsibilities (list). - Employee Supervisory Responsibilities: No. - Work Environment & Physical Demands: mention form, accommodation statement. - Non-Discrimination Statement (boilerplate to remove). We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should remove Non-Discrimination Statement and accommodation request? The accommodation request is part of Work Environment & Physical Demands; but it's a statement about reasonable accommodation. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation statement is not exactly EEO but could be considered legal. However it's part of work environment. Might keep but it's generic. Safer to keep only substantive content: The work environment & physical demands mention "Student Support Assistant (SPED) Physical Demands Form". Could keep a short paragraph. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could use Job Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions & Responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Or combine? The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We have both Minimum Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could put Requirements for minimum, Qualifications for preferred. Or Skills for preferred? But we have Skills heading also. Might map: Requirements = Minimum Required Qualifications. Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed. - Benefits: Benefits: Not Eligible (specific). So we can include Benefits section with that statement. - Pay: Starting Wage: $17.50 hourly, Salary Schedule/Lane: 86/J. So include Pay. - Schedule: Work Calendar: Hourly, FTE 0.7375 (Up to 29.5 Hours per Week). Also maybe Anticipated Start Date? That's not schedule but could be included in About the role? But schedule section should have schedule info. We'll include FTE/hours. We also have Contract Status, FLSA Status, Reports To, Multiple Positions Available Across District, Priority Screen Date, Anticipated Start Date. These are metadata; we can fold into a short
under About the role or maybe a separate "Details" but not a heading. Since we should not create extra headings unless needed. We can include them in a paragraph after the job summary. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details like FTE, hours, wage, schedule, benefits not eligible, start date, priority screen date, multiple positions, contract status, FLSA, reports to. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:
About the role
[Job summary text] Additionally, multiple positions are available across the district. The position is non‑contract, non‑exempt, reports to an Administrative Designee. Anticipated start date is 09/21/2026; priority screen date is 09/08/2026.
But we need to keep the job summary exactly as given, not paraphrase? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the job summary paragraph as is, and then add extra info in same paragraph? That would be adding info not originally in that paragraph but it's still substantive info from elsewhere. That's okay as long as we don't lose any detail. We can combine. Better: Keep job summary as aexactly. Then another
for the metadata. But we must not create filler sections. It's fine. Now Responsibilities: list of essential functions. Use
- for each duty. We need to extract each bullet from the long paragraph. The essential functions paragraph is a long sentence with many duties separated by periods. We need to split into list items. We must preserve all substantive information; we can break into items but must not lose detail. We'll create list items each representing a duty. Let's parse essential functions: "Assist special education students working on objectives related to gaining personal care independence, provide appropriate care and support (e.g., toileting, diapering, feeding, catheterizations, urinals, preparing special dietary foods, etc.) to develop student's daily living activities and behavioral skills" "Complete Safety Care Training" "Implement, under teacher's supervision, student programs for student self-care related to student Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals and objectives (e.g., personal hygiene, impulse control, basic communication, stable relationships as shown by interaction with peers and adults, muscular control, toileting, feeding and eating, dressing, etc.) to help student gain minimal independence, improve the student's physical mobility, and improve students' life skills necessary for community living" "Implement, under teacher's supervision, specialized health care procedures and assistance to medically fragile children (e.g., suctioning of tracheotomy, blood glucose testing, co ostomy care, respiratory assistance, etc.)" "Provide support helping get kids off the bus" "Move students to reposition them and transfer them to and from wheelchairs, walkers, lifts, etc." "Provide one-on-one support." "Monitor individual and small groups of special education students (e.g., field trips, classroom, bus, playground, lunchroom, etc.) to ensure a safe and positive learning environment." "Operate physical education equipment and playground activities using standardized methods" "Collect student data under guidance of teacher (e.g., examples of desired and undesired behaviors, students' skills regarding behavioral skills, daily living skills, and skills for community living, etc.) to monitor student's progress on their IEP goals" "Perform record-keeping and clerical functions, and maintain accurate records (e.g., displays, bulletin board, copying, instructional materials, crafts, collecting & grading papers, etc.) to support the teacher in preparing records, classroom materials, and classroom displays" "Prepare written and audio-visual materials following prescribed formats (e.g., daily log, recording observations, lesson materials, etc.) to convey information to and about the students" "Communicate effectively with diverse individuals and groups of people while maintaining confidentiality and building positive working relationships with employees and stakeholders." "Responds to inquiries from staff (e.g., administrators, Special Education Teachers, Psychologists, Classroom Teachers, etc.)" "Participate in meetings, workshops, and seminars, as assigned to convey and gather information required to perform functions." "Read a variety of manuals and present information to others" "Work under limited supervision, utilizing time-management and prioritization strategies, accurately processing detailed information, and meeting deadlines." "Identify issues and create action plans for problem-solving."

Now Benefits: Benefits: Not Eligible.
Pay: Starting Wage: $17.50 hourly; Salary Schedule/Lane: 86/J.
Schedule: Work Calendar: Hourly; FTE: 0.7375 (Up to 29.5 Hours per Week). Also maybe mention Anticipated Start Date? But that's not schedule. We'll keep schedule as FTE/hours.
We might also include Contract Status, FLSA Status, Reports To, Multiple Positions Available Across District, Priority Screen Date, Anticipated Start Date in About the role paragraph.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: include job summary exactly as given, then a sentence about multiple positions, contract status, FLSA, reports to, anticipated start date, priority screen date.
Job summary text: "*The Student Support Assistant -- Special Education provides assistance to the Special Education Teachers with supervision and programming of Special Education students with IEP goals and objectives related to self-sufficiency, provides one-on-one support including (1) minimal independence, (2) physical mobility, and (3) areas necessary for community living and for stable relationships with peers and adults; performs clerical tasks and implements health-related procedures for medically fragile students, in support of the instructional process. This might include toileting, feeding, and dressing students; as needed, roll, push, pull, bend, reach, stoop, and lift up to 30 pounds.*"
We need to keep the asterisks? They are likely markdown for italics. We should output plain text without markdown. So remove the asterisks and keep the sentence.
Thus: "The Student Support Assistant -- Special Education provides assistance to the Special Education Teachers with supervision and programming of Special Education students with IEP goals and objectives related to self-sufficiency, provides one-on-one support including (1) minimal independence, (2) physical mobility, and (3) areas necessary for community living and for stable relationships with peers and adults; performs clerical tasks and implements health-related procedures for medically fragile students, in support of the instructional process. This might include toileting, feeding, and dressing students; as needed, roll, push, pull, bend, reach, stoop, and lift up to 30 pounds."
Now add: "Multiple positions are available across the district. This is a non‑contract, non‑exempt position reporting to an Administrative Designee. Anticipated start date is 09/21/2026; priority screen date is 09/08/2026."
