We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Please use this link..." and "Interested applicants must submit..." etc. Also remove "EOE M/F/D/V". Also remove "Physical Demands" and "Working Conditions"? Those could be part of Requirements or maybe separate sections? The instruction says use headings for specific categories: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content accordingly.
We have:
- About the role: description of daily substitute teacher, reporting to principal, multiple openings, part-time, job function.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (maintain classroom, supervise, follow lesson plans, attend conferences, provide material, compile report, knowledge of emergency routes, support school culture, model expectations, other duties).
- Requirements: Additional Condition of Employment (respect for Church teachings), Educational Qualifications (Bachelor's degree in education or related field, teaching certification a plus), Other Requirements (list of abilities), Prior to interview (clear records, background checks, training). Also Physical Demands and Working Conditions could be part of Requirements? Might be separate but not in allowed headings. Could include under Requirements as additional details.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Educational Qualifications? But we have both Educational Qualifications and Other Requirements. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we have:
- About the role (h3)
- Responsibilities (h3) with ul
- Requirements (h3) with ul (includes educational qualifications, other requirements, background checks, physical demands, working conditions)
- Skills (h3) maybe list of skills: communication, organization, child development, supervision, fairness, patience, energy, calm response, confidentiality, credibility, integrity, self-confidence.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not provided, so omit.
We must not include headings with filler text. So we will output only those sections with content.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, except boilerplate.
Let's extract substantive info:

We also have "The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, and requirements." This is boilerplate? It's a generic disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate but it's not exactly EEO. Might be okay to keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is a generic disclaimer; might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove.
Also "Please use this link to access the Diocese of Allentown's Teacher Application: AllentownDiocese/Employment Interested applicants must submit a cover letter and resume via iSolved Hire or to the following: Principal Kelly Pretchl Email: kelpre@hgaschool.org EOE M/F/D/V" - remove.
Now we need to map to sections.
About the role: could include Job Status, Reporting Functions, Openings, Job Function.
Responsibilities: the list of duties.
Requirements: could include Educational Qualifications, Other Requirements, Prior to interview (background checks), Physical Demands, Working Conditions, Additional Condition of Employment (maybe as part of Requirements). But we also have Skills section: we could extract skills from Other Requirements: communication, organization, supervision, child development, fairness, patience, energy, calm response, confidentiality, credibility, integrity, self-confidence. Also ability to plan, organize, supervise educational program. Those are skills.
Qualifications: maybe Educational Qualifications (Bachelor's degree, teaching certification). But we already have Requirements includes that. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Qualifications into Requirements, but the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications, skills, etc). But we also need to follow the instruction: use headings for those categories only when posting has real specific content. It didn't say we must use all headings; we can omit those lacking content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications, skills, etc). That's three sections.
But we also have Skills as a possible heading; we could split out skills if we have enough content. However, we have many skill-like items; we could make a Skills section. But then Requirements would be thinner. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications, skills, etc). That's three substantive sections.
