We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. We have purpose of position, responsibilities, qualifications, relationship with others, working conditions, benefits, schedule, compensation rate. We must use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. We can include a short

for metadata like location, department, etc. We must preserve all substantive info. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Purpose of the position: could be "About the role" or maybe "Purpose". Use "About the role" heading. - Specific Responsibilities: heading "Responsibilities". - Qualifications: heading "Qualifications". Also includes Education/Degree, experience, etc. - Relationship With Others: could be part of "Skills" or maybe "Qualifications"? But we have a separate section for Relationship with Others; we could treat as "Skills" or maybe "Qualifications". The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map Relationship With Others to "Skills". Or we could create a separate heading but only allowed those? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive list, but we should prefer those. Probably better to use those standard headings. So we can put Relationship With Others under "Skills". Or we could include a "Requirements" heading for qualifications? But we already have Qualifications. We'll use Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for interpersonal/relationship attributes. - Working Conditions: could be part of "Schedule"? Not exactly. Could be "Working Conditions" but not in list. Maybe we can incorporate into "Schedule" or "About the role". But we have specific content: physical demands, dress code, etc. Could be a section "Working Conditions" but not in examples. However instruction says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those. We could put working conditions under "Schedule"? Not ideal. Maybe we can create a "Requirements" heading for working conditions? But we already have Qualifications. Could treat working conditions as part of "Requirements". The list includes Requirements as an example. So we can use

Requirements

for working conditions (physical demands, dress code, etc). That seems appropriate. - Benefits: heading Benefits. - Pay: heading Pay (compensation rate). - Schedule: heading Schedule. We also have "SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY" and "SCHOOL YEAR SCHEDULE". The scope could be part of About the role. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive info: purpose, responsibilities list, qualifications list, relationship with others list, working conditions list, benefits list, scope, schedule details, compensation rate. We must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We need to output only HTML fragment.

maybe under About the role or as metadata. We must not repeat job title as heading. We can include a

with the job title? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't forbid including it in a paragraph. But better to not repeat at all? It says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. It doesn't forbid in paragraph. But we could include location etc in a paragraph without job title. We'll create:
