We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role? Actually we have sections: Who We Are, Who We're Looking For, The Role, Core Responsibilities (with subpoints), Qualifications (with Required Experience, Preferred Education..., Physical Requirements), Classification and Benefits, Salary Range.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to appropriate headings.
We have "Who We Are" - could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about organization, not role. Could be considered "About the role"? Might be better to use "About the organization"? But allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections where we have real content.
We have content about Who We Are (mission). Could fit under "About the role"? Not exactly. But maybe we can treat "Who We Are" as "About the role"? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to appropriate headings.
We have "Who We Are" - could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about organization, not role. Could be considered "About the role"? Might be better to use "About the organization"? But allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections where we have real content.
We have content about Who We Are (mission). Could fit under "About the role"? Not exactly. But maybe we can treat "Who We Are" as "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? Probably we should stick to those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- Who We Are: could be placed under "About the role"? Might be okay.
- Who We're Looking For: could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? Actually "Who We're Looking For" describes desired traits, could be under "Qualifications" or "Skills". We'll decide.
- The Role: description of role, could be under "About the role" or maybe separate "Responsibilities"? Actually The Role is overview; we have Core Responsibilities separate.
- Core Responsibilities: list of duties; fits under "Responsibilities".
- Qualifications: includes Required Experience, Preferred Education..., Physical Requirements. That fits under "Qualifications" (maybe also Skills). We'll put under "Qualifications".
- Classification and Benefits: includes benefits; fits under "Benefits".
- Salary Range: fits under "Pay".
We also have maybe "Schedule"? Not present, so omit.
We must not include headings with filler. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that.
We need to format lists with - . Use
for prose.
We need to include headings as

Let's extract content.
Who We Are paragraph: "Meeting Street Schools is a groundbreaking network of four South Carolina schools with a mission of “empowering children with the excellent, life-changing education they deserve.” We were founded in 2008 to give hard-working students the opportunity to receive an education that will transform their lives. We are ambitious in our commitment to families, and we expect the same in return. We value exceptional teaching, life-changing student achievement, innovation and a growth mindset, and gratitude and responsibility."
We'll put that under About the role
maybe.
Who We're Looking For: "We exist to change the status quo in education, and we seek individuals who strongly align with our mission. We look for those who refuse to compromise and see education as the gateway to opportunity. We hold high expectations for ourselves and our students. Our team strives to meet a bar of excellence, and we constantly challenge ourselves to get better and evolve our approach. High performers and leaders are encouraged to apply."
That could be under Qualifications? But it's more about desired traits. Could be under Skills? But we have Qualifications section; we can include this as part of Qualifications (maybe as a paragraph). However we already have Qualifications with Required Experience etc. We could combine.
Better: Use Qualifications for required/preferred experience, education, skills. And maybe put "Who We're Looking For" under Skills? But we don't have a Skills heading separate; we could still use Qualifications for both.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: We'll have Qualifications section containing:
- Required Experience: bullet list.
- Preferred Education, Skills and Competencies: bullet list.
- Physical Requirements: bullet list.
And we can also include a paragraph about "Who We're Looking For" as a prose under Qualifications before the lists.
The Role overview: "The Director of Operations plays a critical leadership role in creating the conditions for student success by ensuring that all non-instructional functions of the school run with excellence. This position is responsible for driving the strategic direction of school operations across the campus, overseeing facilities, safety, food services, enrollment, compliance, and more, so that educators and students can focus on teaching and learning. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer and managing a team of school-based staff, the Director enforces consistency, operational excellence, and a culture of service across all areas. By building efficient systems and modeling a standard of high expectations, urgency, and accountability, this role ensures that every operational decision supports Meeting Street Schools’ mission: to provide a life-changing education for all students."
That could be under About the role as well, maybe combined with Who We Are. But we have separate heading About the role; we can put both Who We Are and The Role under that heading as prose.
But we also have Core Responsibilities list; that goes under Responsibilities.
Now Benefits: "Classification and Benefits: This is a salaried exempt position, eligible for comprehensive benefits, including: Health, Dental, Vision, and Pet Insurance Life Insurance and Disability Coverage Retirement Plans and Tax-Favored Spending Accounts (FSA/HSA) Paid Time Off and Employee Wellness Programs Professional development opportunities to enhance your expertise and career growth"
We need to format as list.
Pay: "Salary Range: $86,000 - $105,000"
Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO etc.
Now produce HTML.

Responsibilities
- Leadership: ... (the whole block? Actually Core Responsibilities includes subheadings Leadership, Operations Team Management, Attendance and Enrollment, Compliance, Facilities Management, Safety, School Culture. We need to preserve all detail. Could either keep subheadings as plain text inside li or break into nested lists? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can treat each bullet as a duty. The Core Responsibilities section has headings like Leadership:, Operations Team Management:, etc. We could make each heading a
- with its content. Or we could break each bullet point under those headings into separate li. The content under each heading is multiple sentences. We'll keep each heading as a li containing the sentences.
Thus:
- Leadership: Serve as a key member ...
