We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Application Deadline: In-District Bargaining Unit Members October 1, 2026. If not filled with bargaining unit member, outside applicants considered thereafter until filled. - Projected Start Date: Approximately October 15, 2026. Exact date to be determined by the district. - This is a temporary position for the 26/27 SY Only 5 hours/day, 182 days/year - Salary Range 9 $22.29 to $30.54/hour - Studies... (encouragement to apply) - that's boilerplate? It's about encouraging underrepresented groups; might be considered EEO? It's a statement encouraging applications; but it's not a standard EEO boilerplate? It's more of a diversity encouragement. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is encouraging underrepresented groups; could be considered EEO? Probably remove. Also "Preference will be given to those applicants with work or lived experience with culturally, linguistically and racially diverse communities." That's a qualification/preference; keep. - POSITION SUMMARY: ... keep. - Minimum Qualifications: Education, Training, Experience, Licensure and Certification. Need to list. - Knowledge Of And Skill In: list of knowledge/skills. - Essential Job Functions: list. - Other Job Functions: list. - Physical Requirements: list. - WORKPLACE EXPECTATIONS: list. - Additional info: Applications must be submitted to Frontline Recruiting and Hiring by the closing date... (application instructions) -> remove. - All employees hired... fingerprinting cost $71.50 responsibility of employee. This is substantive? It's a requirement/cost. Might keep as part of Requirements? It's a condition. Could be included in Requirements or a separate note. Probably include under Requirements or a separate "Additional Requirements". But we should not create thin sections. Could incorporate into Requirements as a bullet. - Gresham-Barlow School District recognizes... EEO statement -> remove. Thus sections we might have: - About the role (maybe Position Summary) - Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions + Other Job Functions? Could combine) - Requirements (Minimum Qualifications, Knowledge Of And Skill In, Physical Requirements, Workplace Expectations, Additional requirements like fingerprint cost) - Benefits? Not mentioned. - Pay: Salary Range given. - Schedule: 5 hours/day, 182 days/year, temporary position for 26/27 SY. - Maybe also "Application Deadline" and "Projected Start Date" could be in a "Details" section? But we only create sections when there is real specific content. Could put under "Details" but not a prescribed heading. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can also use "Qualifications" and "Skills" separate if needed. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose among those. We need to avoid thin sections. So we need to decide which sections to include. We have: - Position Summary -> could be About the role. - Responsibilities -> Essential Job Functions + Other Job Functions. - Requirements -> Minimum Qualifications (Education, Experience, Licenses/Certifications) + Physical Requirements + Workplace Expectations + fingerprint cost. - Qualifications -> maybe we could split Knowledge Of And Skill In as Qualifications? But we already have Requirements; maybe we put Knowledge And Skill In under Skills. - Skills -> Knowledge Of And Skill In. - Pay -> Salary Range. - Schedule -> Hours/day, days/year, temporary. - Benefits -> none. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format content. For About the role: use

for prose from Position Summary. Position Summary text: "The "Instructional Assistant" provides educational supports through supervision and instruction of students under the direction of licensed staff. Assistance to the licensed teacher is achieved through the planning and implementation of assigned instructional programs for students who are not in categorical programs (e.g. special education, ELL) and completing routine clerical tasks." We'll put that in a
