We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about JCC mission etc. Should we treat that as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we need to parse content. The posting includes: - Intro paragraphs about JCC mission, values, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The allowed headings list includes "About the role". We'll use that. - Then "SUMMARY:" which is a summary of role. Could be part of About the role or separate. We'll incorporate into About the role. - Then "WHAT YOU WILL DO:" which is responsibilities. So we need a Responsibilities section with
  • . - Then "Program Management" subheading under responsibilities? Actually after "WHAT YOU WILL DO:" there is a list of duties, then a subheading "Program Management" then more duties. We can treat all as responsibilities. - Then "WHO YOU ARE:" which is qualifications/requirements/skills. We need to decide sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting includes: "A creative thinker and arts administrator..." list of attributes, then "A college degree is required. Experience in arts education..." etc. So we can put Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (attributes). Or combine into Qualifications. We'll follow typical: Requirements (education, experience), Skills (personal attributes). We'll output both if content. - Then "PHYSICAL DEMANDS AND WORK ENVIRONMENT:" This is not in allowed headings list but could be part of Requirements? Not exactly. The allowed headings list does not include Physical Demands. Should we include? The instruction: Use headings from the list (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). 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 says "use

    for section headings (e.g. ...)" implying those are examples; we could still add other headings if needed. However they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Physical demands could be part of Requirements or maybe we can omit if not required? But it's substantive. Could include as a section "Physical Demands" but not in list. Safer to incorporate into Requirements or maybe a separate section "Working Conditions". Since not in list, maybe we should avoid creating new heading; we could embed that info in a

    under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Probably better to add a section "Requirements" that includes education, experience, physical demands. But the 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 we should stick to those to be safe. So we can put physical demands under Requirements. - Then "COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:" includes salary range and benefits. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. Pay: salary range. Benefits: list. - There's also EEO boilerplate etc which we must remove. - Also there are duplicated lines like "This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive." appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: Remove duplicated lines. So we should keep only one instance. - Also there are lines about "The JCC reserves the right to revise or change job duties..." etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove. - Also "The Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore is proud to be an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Remove EEO boilerplate. - Also "The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore and its Agencies are equal opportunity employers..." Remove. Now produce HTML. Structure:

    We should not include Schedule section because not specified. Now we need to extract content precisely. Let's extract About the role content: Intro paragraphs: "Founded in 1854, the Baltimore Jewish Community Center (JCC) has evolved into an organization of vitality and diversity. In keeping with its Jewish values, the JCC is committed to enhancing the general welfare of the total community. If you are looking for a job where the work environment is both stimulating and supportive and the mission is focused on promoting and strengthening Jewish life and values, then the JCC could be the place for you. Inspired by the work we do every day, the JCC is an organization centered by Jewish values and focused on creating meaningful experiences and opportunities to enrich, connect, and positively impact our community. We pride ourselves on our inclusive and welcoming workplace and celebrate the diversity of our employees. We value all members of our team in a supportive environment in which everyone is treated with appreciation and respect and positioned to do their best work every day." Then SUMMARY: "The Director of Arts Education is a creative arts administrator and educator responsible for developing, managing, and growing arts education experiences primarily serving children, teens, and families. Working collaboratively with the Center for Arts & Culture and Gordon Center teams, the Director of Arts Education provides creative vision and operational leadership for a diverse portfolio of programs including children’s theater, dance, summer arts programming, and additional arts experiences based on community needs, organizational priorities, and the Director’s areas of expertise. This position creates high-quality arts experiences that reflect the vibrant and diverse communities we serve while providing opportunities for creativity, learning, connection, and meaningful engagement in a safe and welcoming environment." We can combine into a paragraph. Now Responsibilities: list from "WHAT YOU WILL DO:" and then the bullet list under it, plus the "Program Management" subheading content. Let's extract each duty as separate
  • . From "WHAT YOU WILL DO:": - Provide creative and strategic leadership for the JCC’s year-round and summer arts education portfolio. - Lead the JCC’s Children’s Theater Production Company programming and oversee dance programming for children and adults. - Develop new classes, workshops, performances, camps, and arts experiences based on community interests, participation trends, and opportunities for growth. - Develop and maintain relationships with local schools, artists, educators, arts organizations, businesses, and community partners to cultivate partnerships and artistic resources that enhance programming and broaden participation in JCC arts and cultural experiences. - Collaborate across JCC departments and with community partners to develop meaningful arts experiences and support organizational and community-wide events. - Assist with curating and coordinating rotating exhibits in the Gordon Center gallery. - Provide instruction and direct program leadership when appropriate. - Evaluate programs and identify opportunities to strengthen quality, participation, accessibility, and impact. - Represent the Center for Arts & Culture and JCC with professionalism in interactions with participants, families, artists, partners, and the broader community. - Participate in relevant professional development to remain current in arts education, program management, supervision, and community engagement. Then after that there is "Program Management" heading and then a list: - Manage arts education programs from initial concept and planning through implementation and evaluation. - Develop and manage program budgets, calendars, schedules, enrollment goals, and operational plans. - Recruit, hire, onboard, schedule, supervise, and support teaching artists, instructors, counselors, specialists, and other year-round and summer program staff. - Oversee registration, enrollment, room reservations, supplies, payroll coordination, field trips, special programs, and other program logistics. - Build strong relationships with participants and families, maintain consistent communication, and lead efforts to support recruitment and retention. - Collaborate with marketing staff on program promotion, recruitment, registration, and outreach. - Maintain accurate program, financial, enrollment, scheduling, and participant records. - Coordinate performances, showcases, recitals, exhibits, and other culminating experiences. - Participate in staff and camp meetings, orientations, trainings, parent programs, debriefings, and other planning meetings as appropriate. - Ensure programs follow JCC safety procedures and are delivered in a safe, organized, welcoming, and high-quality manner. - Perform other duties as assigned by the supervisor or other appropriate management. We should combine all into one
      list. Now Requirements: education and experience. From "WHO YOU ARE:" after the list of attributes, we have: "A college degree is required. Experience in arts education, arts administration, program management, theater, dance, visual arts, music, camp, or related fields is strongly preferred." Also physical demands section: we need to incorporate into Requirements. Physical demands text: "The Center for Arts & Culture is a dynamic, creative, and often fast-paced environment. The Director of Arts Education regularly interacts with children, families, teaching artists, JCC staff, community organizations, vendors, artists, and outside partners. The position includes a combination of administrative work, classroom and rehearsal environments, performances, community events, and summer camp programming. The position requires flexibility in scheduling. Summer responsibilities generally take place Monday through Friday, with orientations, meetings, and special programs as required. Year-round responsibilities may include daytime, evening, and weekend hours based on classes, rehearsals, performances, and events. While performing the duties of this position, the employee may be required to: Sit, stand, and walk for varying periods of time. Use a computer and other standard office equipment. Reach with hands and arms and occasionally stoop, kneel, or crouch. Assist with moving props, scenery, equipment, art supplies, and other program materials. Occasionally lift or move items weighing up to 20 pounds. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position." Also there is line: "This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive. The employee may be asked to perform other reasonably related duties as assigned by the supervisor or other management as organizational needs appear." This appears twice; we should keep one instance maybe under Requirements? But it's more generic; we could place under Requirements as a note. However we should remove duplicated lines; keep one. We'll include a

      under Requirements maybe after the list. But we need to use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Requirements we have education and experience (two items) plus maybe physical demands as a list? Could be separate

        . The instruction: Use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

          for prose. So if we have a list of requirements (education, experience) we should use

          • . Physical demands is more prose; we can put in

            . The "This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive..." is also prose. Thus Requirements section:

            • A college degree is required.
            • Experience in arts education, arts administration, program management, theater, dance, visual arts, music, camp, or related fields is strongly preferred.
            Then a

            for physical demands and the note. Now Skills section: list of personal attributes from "WHO YOU ARE:" before the education line. Let's extract that list: "A creative thinker and arts administrator who can turn ideas into engaging, well-executed programs. A positive and enthusiastic leader who enjoys working with children, families, artists, educators, and community partners. An effective
