We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. Key info: - Position: For 2026-27 school year in Affective Needs program at Kruse Elementary School. Special Education/Integrated Services. - Pay Range: $20.26-$22.69/hr, based on qualifications and experience.

or drop. The instruction says: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Contact email is minor metadata; we could include in a short

at end. We must not include application instructions, external links, note about closing date, etc. We need sections: maybe About the role (summary), Responsibilities (job tasks), Requirements (education/experience/licenses), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (hours/day, work calendar days, duration). Possibly Qualifications could be merged with Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include only those with real content. We have content for About the role (summary). Responsibilities (job tasks). Requirements (education, experience, licenses). Benefits. Pay. Schedule (hours/day, work calendar days, duration). Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from tasks but better not to create a Skills section if not explicit. Qualifications maybe same as Requirements; but we can include Qualifications as separate if we have content; but we have education/experience/licenses which could be qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section, but instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes education/experience/licenses), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is specific, okay. We must not include "Duration of position: Ongoing" maybe considered schedule? It's schedule info. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities (job tasks) we need a list. For Requirements we need a list. For Benefits we need a list. For Pay maybe just a

  . For Schedule maybe a

  or list. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract details. About the role (summary): "Responsible for assisting the general classroom or special education teacher by providing instructional and physical support for students with significant support needs so that they may fully participate in class activities with access to the general education curriculum. Assist students with personal care, social skills and/or self-awareness. Assist both the special education and general education teachers with classroom accommodations, materials, clerical skills, and the monitoring of students." We'll put that in a
