Why we read it this way (7)
The role is a genuine hybrid between database administration (student information system superuser, PIMS reporting, ad-hoc queries) and data/reporting coordination; 15-1242 Database Administrators was chosen as primary because maintaining and operating the student information system and PIMS database is the core daily function, with 15-2031 Operations Research Analysts as a plausible runner-up given the heavy reporting and data-synthesis duties.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and work experience required,' which means equivalent experience is explicitly accepted — the degree requirement is therefore set to None.
SQL is listed as 'preferred' in the Education & Experience section and 'preferred' again in the Computer Skills section; it is never stated as a hard gate, so it is marked preferred.
Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) and MS Office (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint) are listed as required proficiencies under Computer Skills; they are presented as alternatives to each other ('and/or'), so Google Workspace is the primary skill with Microsoft Office as the alternative. Excel and Access are also called out individually as distinct tools relevant to the role's data work and are listed as required.
PIMS (Pennsylvania Information Management System) is a hard operational requirement central to the role's state-reporting duties.
'Student Information Systems' is used as a canonical skill name for the district's SIS platform (vendor unspecified); it is a hard gate given the role's superuser/primary-contact responsibilities.
The posting mentions several Pennsylvania-specific systems (PVAAS, Data Recognition Corporation, Early Warning System, Assessment Tracker) only in narrative/context describing the kinds of data the role works with — not as gated requirements — so they are omitted from the skills list.
