Why we read it this way (8)
The title is 'Network Engineer' but the day-to-day work — operating and maintaining LAN/wireless infrastructure, switches, access points, servers, and endpoint devices across school sites — aligns most closely with Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244). There is some network design/architecture language that could point to Computer Network Architects (15-1241), but the hands-on operational and support scope dominates.
The certification requirement (CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, or Microsoft 365 MCE) must be held OR obtained within 3 years of hire; it is still listed as a hard requirement, so it is marked required with the three options treated as interchangeable alternatives.
Degree requirement: the JD accepts either a Bachelor's degree OR four years of equivalent work experience, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The '6 years of equivalent, work-related experience' figure is labeled 'preferred' in the JD ('preferred'), but it is the only overall experience figure stated and is the closest proxy for the overall years minimum; it has been set accordingly with that caveat.
Salary is referenced as 'Middle Manager Lane Placement D' on a district schedule — no dollar figures are published in the posting.
Network management tools (Cisco Prime, ISE, Hyper-V, Forefront Identity Manager) appear in the narrative Essential Functions section rather than the Required Knowledge and Skills section, so they are marked preferred.
The role is on-site across 8–10 school/district locations; remote work is not offered.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager.
