Elementary 1st Grade Teacher (TIA Eligible) - YES Prep West Elementary (Immediate Opening)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. So we need to parse the description. We have: - Position: Teacher, reports to Principal, position type: 10-month, start date: 26-27 School Year (maybe 2026-27). Compensation: Starting at $64,000 annually. In a TEACHER INCENTIVE ALOTTMENT ELIGIBLE COURSE: TIA teachers can earn up to $102,800. Then details about TIA: up to additional $32,000 a year if designated under TIA based on performance and student growth for 5 years if they remain in the classroom. Then a table: 1 year experience: $91,800; 5 years: $96,800; 10 years: $99,800; 15 years: $102,800. Thus we have Pay info: Starting salary $64k, potential up to $102,800 with TIA. Also details about experience-based payouts. So we can include a Pay section with that info. Schedule: Position type: 10-month. Start date: 26-27 School Year. Could be considered schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with "10-month position, start date for the 2026-27 school year." Benefits: The PERKS section includes compensation note (salary offers commensurate with experience) – but we already have Pay. Also health and supplemental insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, paid leave programming, professional development, award winning culture. So we can include Benefits section with those details. About the role: There's a section "THE ROLE" with bullet-like sentences describing responsibilities. We'll extract those as responsibilities list. Requirements / Qualifications / Skills: There's "THE PERSON" with must-haves: Bachelor's degree, Texas Educator Certification or willing to join ACP, ability to navigate web-related apps, ability to instruct using variety of technology, belief in mission, openness to feedback, ability to maintain emotional control under stress, ability to work urgently fast-paced, ability to juggle multiple tasks, dedication to learn/grow. Also "THE MUST HAVE BELIEFS": belief in mission, desire to disrupt systemic status quos, willingness to go above and beyond, passion to develop resiliency, conviction that high expectations + high accountability = high performance and high growth. We can split into Requirements (education, certification), Skills (tech ability, feedback, emotional control, fast-paced, multitasking, dedication to grow), Qualifications maybe overlapping. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But the instruction says use headings for those categories if they have real specific content. We can have Requirements (education, certification), Skills (tech, feedback, emotional control, fast-paced, multitasking, dedication to grow), Qualifications (maybe the beliefs?). But beliefs could be part of Requirements or Skills? Might be better to have Qualifications for beliefs and mission alignment. However we need to avoid filler. Let's see if we have enough content for each. We have: - About the role: we have a paragraph describing mission and quick stats; could be About the role (overview). Actually there is a paragraph after compensation: "At YES Prep, work for a mission that impacts the life trajectory..." That's more about the organization. Could be About the role or About the organization. We'll treat as About the role. - Responsibilities: list from THE ROLE bullet points. - Requirements: Bachelor's degree, Texas Educator Certification or willing to join ACP. - Skills: Ability to navigate web-related applications and technology; Ability to instruct students using a variety of technology applications and platforms; Openness to giving and receiving frequent feedback; Ability to maintain emotional control under stress; Ability to work urgently in a fast-paced and results-oriented environment; Ability to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at once; A dedication to learn, grow, and develop as a professional. - Qualifications: The MUST HAVE BELIEFS: belief in and commitment to mission and core values; Desire to disrupt systemic status quos; Willingness to go above and beyond; Passion to develop resiliency through relentless pursuit of jaw-dropping results; Conviction that high expectations + high accountability = high performance and high growth. - Benefits: health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, paid leave programming, professional development, award winning culture. - Pay: Starting at $64,000 annually; TIA eligible up to $102,800; experience-based payouts. - Schedule: 10-month position; start date 26-27 School Year. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" (that's in benefits but we can still include benefits; but the phrase "salary offers commensurate with experience" is filler; we can omit that sentence from benefits. The benefits section includes other substantive items. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

for each section, and

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to decide which info goes in

  vs

  . For prose paragraphs (like About the role) we use

  . For lists of duties/requirements/benefits we use
