We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes some legal disclaimer at end: "This document is for communication only..." etc. That's boilerplate? It's part of job description but maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The legal disclaimer about document being for communication only and not implying contract may be considered legal boilerplate. Should we remove it? Likely yes, as it's standard legal disclaimer. Also the sentence about Oklahoma City Public Schools reserves the right to update... maybe also boilerplate. But it's somewhat specific to the district. However it's still a generic statement. The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. So we should omit those sentences.
Also "This job description is not intended to be all inclusive. The employee will also perform other reasonably related business duties as assigned by the supervisor or appropriate administrator." That's also boilerplate. Might be considered generic. Might remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information; but we can remove generic boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove those generic legal lines.
Thus we keep: Position Summary, Essential Duties, Job Specifications, Minimum Qualifications, Physical/Mental Requirements, Work Environment (maybe keep as it's substantive about environment), Compensation, Work Days, FTE, maybe also mention alternative work site? That's in the posting: "To ensure continuity of services, alternative work site may be necessary..." That's substantive about alternative work site. Should we keep? It's not boilerplate; it's specific. We'll keep it maybe under Responsibilities or a separate section? Could be part of Responsibilities.
We need to decide sections.
Let's outline:
- About the role: Position Summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties list (maybe also alternative work site). We'll make a
list.
- Requirements: Could combine Job Specifications and Minimum Qualifications? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use.
We have:
Job Specifications: "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill and/or ability required."
Then Minimum Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills And/or Abilities Required): list of qualifications.
We could treat "Requirements" as the Job Specifications paragraph (maybe a short prose). Then "Qualifications" as the Minimum Qualifications list. Then "Skills" as abilities like communication, working relationships, etc. But those are already in Minimum Qualifications. Might be redundant.
Better to follow typical structure: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (certifications etc), Skills (abilities). But we have overlapping.
We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can combine into fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications and skills), Pay, Schedule.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should not create many sections with little content. Let's see what we have substantive:
- About the role: Position Summary (a few sentences). Good.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties (many bullet points). Good.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (list of qualifications). Good.
- Skills: maybe we can extract abilities like communication, working relationships, etc. But those are already in Minimum Qualifications. Could be part of Requirements.
- Pay: Compensation line.
- Schedule: Work Days: 181, FTE: 100, plus mention of occasional outside hours, weekends.
- Benefits: none.
Thus we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide headings exactly as allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can omit those not used.
Thus we will output:
About the role

Pay
Compensation: 001 (Step determined by education and experience.)
Schedule
Work Days: 181; FTE: 100%; may require work outside normal business hours, including weekends, under sometimes stressful conditions to meet business needs and strict deadlines.
We need to preserve all substantive info: also mention alternative work site possibility. Where to put? Could be under Responsibilities as an additional duty.
Also mention "Reports To: Building Administrator", "FSLA Status: Exempt". Those are metadata. Should we include? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. So we can include Reports To and FSLA status in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or a separate meta paragraph. But we should not create a heading for them. We can include them in a
after the About the role maybe.
We need to preserve all substantive information; so we should include Reports To and FSLA status somewhere.
We can add a short
after About the role: "Reports to Building Administrator. FSLA status: Exempt."
Alternatively we could incorporate into About the role paragraph.
Let's do: After About the role paragraph, add a
with Reports To and FSLA status.
Now we need to extract the essential duties list.
Let's copy the Essential Duties paragraph and split into bullet points.
