We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About LEAP" and "Job Description". 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.
We have:
- About LEAP: description of school. That's like "About the role"? Actually "About LEAP" is about the organization, not role. But we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use "About the role" heading for description of role? But we have "Job Description" which includes description of role. So we could put that under "About the role". Or we could use "About LEAP" as heading? The instruction says use those headings; but we can also use other headings? It says use
.
Qualifications list: list of bullet points (each line). We'll convert.
Benefits list: after "Benefits include, but are not limited to:" then list items: Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance; Prescription Drug Coverage; Enrollment in New Jersey State Pension Program (NJDPB); Tuition Reimbursement; Professional Development Opportunities; Employee Wellness Resources. Then there is also a promotional paragraph "Elevate Your Career, Secure Your Future..." etc. That's also substantive; we should include that as part of Benefits section maybe as prose after list. The instruction: preserve all substantive information. So we should include that promotional text as part of Benefits section (maybe as
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.
We have:
- About LEAP: description of school. That's like "About the role"? Actually "About LEAP" is about the organization, not role. But we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use "About the role" heading for description of role? But we have "Job Description" which includes description of role. So we could put that under "About the role". Or we could use "About LEAP" as heading? The instruction says use those headings; but we can also use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings where appropriate. Likely we should use "About the role" for the job description summary, "Responsibilities" for duties, "Qualifications" for qualifications, "Benefits" for benefits, maybe "Pay" for salary range. Also "Schedule" maybe not present (they mention 10-month contracted position). That's schedule info (10-month). Could include schedule. But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". The posting says "2026/2027 10-month contracted position". That's schedule info (10-month). So we can include Schedule section with that.
Pay: Salary Range: Starting at $60,000. So we can include Pay.
Benefits: detailed list.
Qualifications: list.
Responsibilities: duties.
About the role: maybe combine "About LEAP" and "Job Description" summary. But we need to avoid duplication. Could put "About the role" containing the job description paragraph(s) that describe role. The "About LEAP" is about organization; maybe we could include that as part of "About the role" or maybe we could omit because not required? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the About LEAP info. Where to place? Could make a section "About the school" but not in allowed headings. However instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely they expect us to use those headings where applicable, and we can add other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those headings and place About LEAP under "About the role" maybe as a brief intro. But that would mix organization info with role description; still substantive.
Alternatively we could have two sections: "About the role" (job description) and "About LEAP" maybe not allowed but could be okay. However instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but gives examples. Safer to follow examples.
Thus we will create sections:
About the role
containing the job description paragraph(s) that describe role (the paragraph after "Job Description").
Responsibilities
containing the duties list.
Qualifications
containing qualifications list.
Benefits
containing benefits list.
Pay
containing salary range.
Schedule
containing 10-month contracted position.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We must not include application instructions. Not present.
We must preserve all substantive information. Need to ensure we capture all details from About LEAP, Job Description paragraph, Qualifications list, Duties list, Benefits list, Salary, Schedule.
Let's extract.
About LEAP paragraph:

We should keep that.
Job Description paragraph after "Job Description":

Now Responsibilities list (under Duties & Responsibilities). It's a long list of bullet points (each sentence). We'll convert each to
