Educational Diagnostician Pool (26-27 SY) - Special Education

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Primary Purpose" and "Qualifications", "Major Responsibilities and Job Duties" broken into subcategories: Program Management, School Climate, School Improvement, Professional Growth, Development and Practices, School/Community Relations. Also "Supervisory Responsibilities None", "Working Conditions", etc. We must use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe from Primary Purpose), Qualifications (Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Minimum Experience), Responsibilities (Major Responsibilities and Job Duties). Possibly also Skills? Could combine knowledge/skills under Qualifications. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present (no pay grade? Actually Pay Grade: Admin 4, but that's not pay amount; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says Pay Grade: Admin 4, but not actual salary. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Pay Grade, but not actual pay. Likely we should not create Pay section because it's not a specific pay amount. Similarly Schedule: Duty Days: 198 Days (that's schedule info). That could be considered schedule. The posting states Duty Days: 198 Days. That is specific schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: not mentioned. So omit Benefits. We also need to include any metadata like Job ID etc folded into short p or drop. There's no Job ID. There's WAGE/HOUR STATUS: Exempt, FUNDING SOURCE: 199/224, REPORTS TO: Director of Special Education, PAY GRADE: Admin 4, DUTY DAYS: 198 Days, DATE REVISED: 2/26/26. This could be placed in a short

maybe as metadata. But we should not repeat job title as heading. We can include a

with that info. We must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. There's some at end about ADA etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the Primary Purpose text, Qualifications details, Major Responsibilities and Job Duties (including subcategories). Also Working Conditions? It includes Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors. That is substantive. Should we include a section for Working Conditions? The allowed headings list does not include Working Conditions, but we can still use

for any section heading; the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Likely we can use other headings if needed, but better to map to given categories. Working Conditions could be under Responsibilities? Not really. Could be its own section "Working Conditions". The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we can include a

Working Conditions

. Similarly "Supervisory Responsibilities None" could be omitted or included as a short p. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for qualifications we can list items. For responsibilities we can list items under each subheading maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

  We should not include the supervisory responsibilities line (None) maybe as a short p. Could include but it's not substantive. Might drop. We must not include boilerplate about ADA etc. We removed. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. We used

  for main sections,

  for sub-sections. That's okay; instruction only said use

  for section headings, but didn't forbid other headings. Using

  might be okay but maybe better to keep all headings as

  and use

  or for subheadings. However using

  is still a heading tag; could be considered not following instruction strictly. Safer to avoid other heading levels; we can use

  for each major section and use

  Subheading

  for sub-sections. Let's adjust. We'll keep main sections: About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Working Conditions. Under Responsibilities we can have subheadings as

  Program Management

  then
