FLSA Status: Exempt (for full-time professionals)
We need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential functions + maybe additional job functions), Requirements (certifications, background check, etc), Qualifications (education, degree, experience), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities), Benefits (none given), Pay (depending on education & experience - but that is vague; rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Pay Rate: depending on education & experience". That is a statement but it's vague; is that considered real specific content? It says "depending on education & experience". That's not a specific number or range. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "depending on education & experience" is similar to "commensurate with experience". So we should NOT create Pay section.
Schedule: Work Year: school days Aug. - May with some additional training days. That's a schedule description. It's specific enough? It's not placeholder like "varies". It states school days Aug-May plus training days. That's concrete. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: none mentioned. So omit.
Now we need to decide headings: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule.
We must use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to include metadata like location, date posted, etc. Where to put? Could be in About the role as a short paragraph. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include location, date posted, date available, closing date, position type, category, etc in a short paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate meta paragraph. Probably best to include them in About the role as a paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Catholic School Self-Contained Second Grade Teacher". We should not put that as heading. So About the role heading will be
About the role
then a paragraph containing summary plus metadata.
Now Responsibilities: essential functions list plus additional job functions? Could combine both under Responsibilities. We'll list each as - . Must preserve all details.
Requirements: items like Texas State Teaching Certification, criminal background check, Safe Haven training, commitment to Catholic school philosophy, Catechist Certificate or working towards one, ability to handle face-to-face and remote teaching, maybe also Bachelor's degree? Actually Bachelor's degree is under Qualifications & Education. But requirements could include certifications and clearances. We'll list those.
Qualifications: Bachelor's degree from accredited college/university in Elementary Education or related discipline; Master's degree preferred; prior experience considered; State Certification in appropriate grade level preferred. Also maybe "Minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university" appears earlier; but we can include that as qualification.
Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list.
Schedule: Work Year: school days Aug. - May with some additional training days.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. Ensure each section has substantive content.

Let's craft paragraphs.
About the role paragraph: Include position type, location, dates, category, summary.
Example:
Position Type: Elementary School Teaching/Primary - Grades 1, 2, 3. Location: Assumption Catholic School. Date Posted: 8/13/2026. Date Available: 09/01/2026. Closing Date: 10/13/2026.

That seems fine.
Now Responsibilities: combine essential functions and additional job functions.
Essential Functions list:
- Develops and administers school curriculum consistent with school goals and objectives.

We need to preserve all details, but we can combine similar items? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should not combine if it loses detail. However we can list each bullet as separate - . That preserves detail.
We'll list all essential functions bullets, then additional job functions bullets.
Now Requirements: list:
- Texas State Teaching Certification
- Receive and pass a criminal background check clearance
- Be trained and verified in Safe Haven child abuse awareness
- Be committed to the philosophy of Catholic school and value oriented education
- Have a current Catechist Certificate or working towards one
- Able to handle both face-to-face teaching and remote online teaching
Also maybe "Minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university" is a requirement but appears also under Qualifications. We'll keep it under Qualifications to avoid duplication? The instruction says preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay if it's in original. But we can keep it in both places if we want. However to avoid redundancy we could keep it under Qualifications only. But the original lists it under "The Successful Candidate Is Expected To Be" bullet list includes "Minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university." That's part of requirements. So we should include it there. However Qualifications & Education also mentions Bachelor's degree. To preserve all, we could include it in both sections, but that may be considered duplication but not invented. It's okay to repeat. However we might want to avoid unnecessary repetition but not required. I'd include it in Requirements.

- Minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university
