We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must not include duplicated lines. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Pay details: Hourly Rate $26.00 per hour, Training Hourly Rate $17, Sign-on bonus up to $5,000, Referral bonus $3,000, Training Completion Bonus $500, etc. Also benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life insurance, 401(k) with match, Employee Assistance Program, Employee Discount Program, Guaranteed Minimum Hours (8 hrs per day), Safety/Attendance bonuses, etc. Schedule: Full-time, flexible schedule: Split shifts (AM/PM routes), weekdays only; No nights, weekends, holidays, or summers required. Also mention "Full-time, flexible schedule". So we can have Pay section with details, Benefits section, Schedule section. Also About the role: description of role. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: qualifications like age, license, etc. Skills: maybe list of skills like leadership, customer service, etc. Qualifications maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if posting has real specific content. We'll need to decide which headings to use. Likely we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Qualifications maybe similar to Requirements; but we can include if there is distinct content. The posting includes "You might be a good fit as a School Bus Driver if you: Are at least 21 years old Have a valid driver's license for at least 3 years Are looking for a part-time schedule and summers off Enjoy working with students". Also "School Bus Driver Jobs are Perfect For: Retirees... etc." That's more about who it's perfect for, could be under Requirements or Skills? Also "Great School Bus Drivers often bring skills such as: Valid Class B License History driving with ride share companies or taxi services Previous experience as a teacher, CDL driver, social worker, classroom assistant, hospitality worker, or customer service or retail associate." That's skills/qualifications. So we can have Requirements (age, license, etc.) and Skills (list of beneficial experience). Also maybe Qualifications could be same as Requirements; but we can omit Qualifications to avoid duplication. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine some.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must remove duplicated lines. Must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, legal, etc. So we should cut out the EEO paragraph, the Washington state drug testing paragraph (maybe considered boilerplate? It's specific to Washington but still legal; but it's about drug testing, which is relevant? Might be considered boilerplate but it's a condition. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The Washington state drug testing is legal but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a condition specific to Washington; but it's still a legal condition. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also remove the EEO paragraph and the Fair Chance Ordinance paragraph. Also remove the "First for a reason:" paragraph? That's more company description; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about company. Might keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "First for a reason:" is not exactly those; it's company overview. Might be okay to keep but could be considered fluff. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. The company overview is substantive? It's not directly about the job but about the employer. Might be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. Safer to keep? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Including a long company overview may be thin. I'd lean to omit it as it's not directly about the role. However the instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The company overview is substantive about the employer, but not about the job. Might be considered extra. I'd remove it to keep focus.
Also remove the "Language Requirement" maybe it's a requirement; it's substantive: English proficiency required. That's a requirement. So we should keep that under Requirements.
Also remove the duplicated lines: e.g., "*Sign-on bonus conditions apply. See location for details. *Conditions apply; see locations for details. Bonus offer expires 12/31/26*" appears twice; we should keep once.
Also remove the "Note: This position is subject to DOT drug testing as a safety-sensitive employee. DOT Regulation 49 CFR Part 40 does not authorize the use of Schedule I drugs, including marijuana, for any reason." That's a requirement (drug testing). Keep.
Also remove the "Take the wheel and drive your career forward with First Student! Make an impact in your community while enjoying flexible schedules, great pay, and unmatched support." That's fluff; maybe can be omitted as it's not specific detail. But it's a motivational statement; could be considered boilerplate. I'd remove.
