We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes many sections: Position Overview, Qualifications, Performance Responsibilities, Expectations Of Poplar Bluff Coaches, Physical Requirements/Environmental Factors, Evaluation, Disclaimer, etc. We need to preserve substantive info. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities (Performance Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting mentions compensation, benefits, working conditions specified by Board policies; extra-duty stipend position determined by district's salary schedule; seasonal commitment; annual appointment; vary by season and competition schedule; includes after-school hours, evenings, occasional weekends. So we have some info about Pay (extra-duty stipend, determined by district's salary schedule), Schedule (seasonal commitment, after-school hours, evenings, occasional weekends), Benefits (maybe mention benefits per Board policies). We need to include sections only if real specific content. For Pay we have "extra-duty stipend position, in addition to the certified role, determined by the district's salary schedule for the specific sport". That's specific enough. For Schedule we have "Seasonal commitment based on the sport season, including pre-season, regular season, and post-season responsibilities" and "Vary by season and competition schedule; includes after-school hours, evenings, and occasional weekends". That's specific. Benefits: "Employment terms covering compensation, benefits, and working conditions are specified by the Board of Education's policies, procedures, and agreements." That's vague but mentions benefits are specified by Board policies. Could be considered substantive? It says benefits are specified by Board policies; not specific details. Might be considered too vague; but we could include a Benefits section with that statement. However instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "specified by the Board of Education's policies, procedures, and agreements" is not filler; it's a statement that benefits are per Board policies. Might be acceptable. We'll include Benefits. We also need About the role: Position Overview paragraph. Responsibilities: Performance Responsibilities plus Expectations Of Poplar Bluff Coaches (these are expectations). Could combine into Responsibilities section. Requirements: Qualifications (Bachelor's degree etc). Also maybe include "Valid Missouri Teacher Certificate preferred" etc. That's qualifications. Skills: Could extract from Qualifications: "Excellent oral and written communication skills", "Skills in human relations, leadership, and conflict management", "Knowledgeable of coaching techniques that meet the diverse needs of students", "Knowledgeable of and adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations.", "Abide by all rules...", "Actively pursue the licensure to drive a school bus suitable for the sport they are coaching." Those are skills/requirements. Could put under Skills. But we must not duplicate content. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can split into sections but ensure no duplication. Might be easier to have sections: About the role (Position Overview), Responsibilities (Performance Responsibilities + Expectations), Qualifications (Bachelor's degree etc), Skills (communication, human relations, etc), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe Physical Requirements/Environmental Factors could be under Requirements? But not in allowed headings. Could we add a section like "Physical Requirements"? Not allowed headings list only those specific headings. So we must fit content into allowed headings or drop if not fitting. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings. Likely we should only use those headings. So we need to map all content into those categories. Physical Requirements could go under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably Requirements. We'll include physical requirements under Requirements. Evaluation and Disclaimer maybe not needed; they are boilerplate? Disclaimer is legal boilerplate; we should remove. Evaluation maybe also boilerplate; but it's substantive? It says evaluation by head coach and AD at end of season. Could be included under Responsibilities? Not exactly. Might be considered part of Expectations? Might be safe to omit as it's somewhat procedural but still substantive. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep evaluation info. Where to put? Could be under Requirements? Not ideal. Maybe we can add a section "Evaluation" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use h3 for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should stick to those. But we need to preserve evaluation info; maybe we can fold into Responsibilities or Expectations. Could add a sentence under Responsibilities about evaluation. That preserves info. Similarly, "Revised: July 2025" is metadata; can drop. Now craft HTML. Structure:

About the role

Position Overview paragraph.

Responsibilities

  • ... list items from Performance Responsibilities and Expectations.
We need to keep all bullet points. Let's extract them. Performance Responsibilities list: - Coach individual participants in the skills necessary for excellent achievement in the sport involved. - Assist in making plans and scheduling a regular program of practice in season. - Work with the Head Coach and Athletic Director in scheduling interscholastic contests. - Assist in making recommendations to purchase equipment, supplies, and uniforms, as appropriate. - Assist in maintaining an accurate, up-to-date inventory of all uniforms and equipment as appropriate. - Assist with necessary attendance forms, insurance records, and similar paperwork. - Assist in overseeing the safety conditions of the facility or area where the assigned sport is conducted. - Assist in establishing performance criteria for eligibility in interscholastic competition in his/her sport. - Enforces discipline and sportsman-like behavior at all times, and assists in establishing and overseeing penalties for breach of such standards by individual students. - Has a good working knowledge of the rules and regulations of the sport he or she is coaching. - As a representative of the Poplar Bluff R-I School District, the assistant coach will reflect a favorable impression of our school system to other schools and communities. Expectations Of Poplar Bluff Coaches list (many): - Follow all policies set forth by the board of education. - Follow all building and department rules and procedures. - Have the desire to create a positive influence on players, fans, colleagues, and others to win. The desire to win should never override the health, safety, or welfare of the athletes. - Possesses strong values and work ethic. - Motivate those directly and indirectly associated with the program to have a supportive sense of ownership of the program - Promote the athletic program by strategically involving others, including parents and media. - Establish and maintain positive relationships with persons involved in the school's operation. - Have the understanding and control required to respond to a total setting even during the most highly pitched emotional situation. - Be organized and prepared. The coach remains flexible at all times, remaining constantly aware of the need for revision and change. - Be a continuous student of the game, constantly searching for better methods, techniques, and strategies. - Be dedicated and committed to the coaching profession. - Take an active role in the prevention of drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse. - Be thoroughly acquainted with the contest rules and be responsible for interpreting rules to team members. - Actively use their influence to enhance good sportsmanship among their spectators and instruct players in their sportsmanship responsibilities. - Show respect and support for contest officials. - Keep the Athletic Director informed of major problems and decisions. - Be a proactive host to opponents, treating them as guests. - Inform players of the conduct expected of them in the locker room, other school facilities, on the floor or field, and the bus. - Instruct athletes as to the potential dangers of participating in that sport. - Properly condition players who are members of their squad. - Turn off lights, lock doors, and ensure the building and equipment are secure. We need to include all these as list items. That's many; okay. Now Qualifications section: Bachelor's degree in education preferred or minimum of 36 college hours or online 20-hour substitute training. Valid Missouri Teacher Certificate preferred. Excellent oral and written communication skills. Skills in human relations, leadership, and conflict management. Knowledgeable of coaching techniques that meet the diverse needs of students. Knowledgeable of and adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations. Abide by all rules and regulations established by the Poplar Bluff R-I Board of Education. Abide by and uphold all rules and regulations established by the Missouri State High School Activities Association. Actively pursue the licensure to drive a school bus suitable for the sport they are coaching. We could put some of these under Skills instead. But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings. Let's assign Qualifications: education/certificate requirements. Skills: communication, human relations, leadership, conflict management, coaching techniques, knowledge of regulations, ability to pursue bus licensure. But we also have physical requirements; we could put under Requirements. Requirements section: Physical Requirements/Environmental Factors list. Let's list physical requirements: - Ability to work in a climate-controlled building, as well as in inclement weather. - Ability to stand, walk, and move around for long periods of time. - Ability to see and read, with or without vision aids, a computer screen and printed matter, and to distinguish colors. - Sufficient hearing to understand speech at normal room levels, and to hear and understand speech on the telephone. - Manual dexterity to operate a telephone and enter data into a computer using both hands. - Ability to communicate effectively and efficiently with sufficient volume to be heard in normal conversation, on the telephone, and addressing groups. - Ability to exert up to 30 pounds of force to lift, carry, push, pull, or otherwise move objects. - Ability to lift, bend, stoop, pull, grasp, and carry a variety of objects of different shapes and sizes. - Able to perform other duties assigned by the Superintendent or designee. Now Benefits: "Employment terms covering compensation, benefits, and working conditions are specified by the Board of Education's policies, procedures, and agreements." We'll put that as a paragraph. Pay: "Extra-duty stipend position, in addition to the certified role, determined by the district's salary schedule for the specific sport". Also maybe mention that compensation is per Board policies. We'll put that. Schedule: "Seasonal commitment based on the sport season, including pre-season, regular season, and post-season responsibilities" and "Vary by season and competition schedule; includes after-school hours, evenings, and occasional weekends". We'll combine. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. We'll avoid duplication: e.g., communication skills appear both in Qualifications and Skills; we should place only once. Let's decide: Qualifications: education and certificate. Skills: communication, human relations, leadership, conflict management, coaching techniques, knowledge of regulations, bus licensure pursuit. That covers. Now Responsibilities includes all duties and expectations. Now Requirements includes physical requirements. Now About the role includes Position Overview paragraph. Now Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no extra text. Let's craft. Be careful to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:
