Not given explicit schedule but mentions reporting every day of student attendance, not required on conference days, school breaks, Regents exams. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section.

We must not create sections with placeholder text. So include only sections with content.
We need to use for headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO etc.
We need to format.
