We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Who are we?" description, then "About the Associate Teacher Program", then "What the program provides", "What you will do as an Associate Teacher", "Who should apply", "Requirements", "Compensation and Benefits", "Our Commitment to a Diverse Staff", "We are an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer". We must remove boilerplate: EEO/equal-opportunity lines, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal etc. There's none. Also we must not repeat job title as heading. No job title given. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to map sections accordingly. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those headings if they match content. We have sections: About the Associate Teacher Program (maybe "About the role"?), What the program provides (maybe "Responsibilities"? Actually responsibilities are later). What you will do as an Associate Teacher (Responsibilities). Who should apply (maybe Qualifications? Actually that's more about candidate fit). Requirements (Requirements). Compensation and Benefits (Benefits and Pay). Our Commitment to a Diverse Staff (maybe Skills? Not exactly). We should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We should not include empty sections. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the description of who they are? The "Who are we?" paragraph is substantive. Should we include it? Possibly as an introductory paragraph before any heading. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." It doesn't forbid having a paragraph before headings. So we can include a

for the "Who are we?" description. Then we can have

About the role

with content from "About the Associate Teacher Program". Then

Responsibilities

with content from "What you will do as an Associate Teacher". Then

Requirements

with content from "Requirements". Then

Benefits

with content from "Compensation and Benefits". Also Pay: we have starting salary $50,000. Should we separate Pay? The instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary. Could we include Pay as separate section? It says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one Benefits section. But we have both Pay and Benefits headings suggested. However we can include Pay within Benefits or make separate Pay section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Pay and Benefits into one Benefits section that includes salary and benefits. But we also have a Schedule: we have schedule info: availability to begin early August and work full school schedule, generally 7:25 a.m.–3:50 p.m. Also students dismiss at 12:30 p.m. on Fridays. That's schedule info. So we could have a Schedule section. However we might combine schedule into Requirements? But schedule is separate info. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can have Schedule section with that info. We also have "What the program provides" which includes weekly coaching, PD, etc. That could be part of About the role or maybe Qualifications? Could be part of About the role. We'll incorporate into About the role. We also have "Who should apply" which is about candidate fit; could be Qualifications? Actually Qualifications heading is suggested. We could put that content under Qualifications. But we already have Requirements heading for degree, availability, experience. Who should apply is more about desired attributes. Could be Qualifications. We'll make a Qualifications section. We also have "Our Commitment to a Diverse Staff" which is EEO-like but not exactly EEO boilerplate; it's a diversity statement. Should we keep? It's substantive but maybe considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a diversity commitment statement, not exactly EEO legal boilerplate but could be considered similar. However it's not a legal disclaimer; it's a statement about diversity. Might be okay to keep. But to be safe, maybe we can include it as a section like "Diversity and Inclusion". However the instruction only lists specific headings examples; we can use other headings if needed? It 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 those. Safer to stick to those headings. Diversity statement could go under Qualifications or Benefits? Not really. Could be omitted as it's somewhat boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO legal text but still a statement. I'd consider it as part of the school's culture; maybe we can include it as a paragraph under About the role? But it's separate. I'd include it as a separate section maybe under "Qualifications"? Not ideal. I'd maybe include it as a paragraph after Qualifications without a heading? But instruction says use

for section headings; doesn't forbid paragraphs without heading. So we can add a

for diversity statement. Similarly, the "Our Commitment to a Diverse Staff" and "We are an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer" lines: the latter is EEO boilerplate, must be removed. So we remove that line entirely. Thus final HTML: start with a

for Who are we? Then

About the role

with content from About the Associate Teacher Program and What the program provides combined. Then

Responsibilities

with What you will do as an Associate Teacher. Then

Qualifications

with Who should apply. Then

Requirements

with Requirements bullet list. Then

Pay

with salary. Then

Benefits

with benefits list. Then

Schedule

with schedule info. Then optionally a

for diversity statement. We must use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities, requirements, benefits we need lists. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract details. Who are we? paragraph: "Springfield Prep Charter School is a K-8 public charter school in Springfield, Massachusetts that prepares all students for high school, college, and life.
