We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Position Type: Teaching-Special Education/Resource Teacher - Date Posted: 9/23/2026 - Location: Fernley High - Date Available: Oct/2026 - Closing Date: Open until filled - Title: SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER - Self-Contained, Mild/Moderate Disabilities - Range $50,761-$92,279 annually with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience - Terms of Employment: 9 Months or (185/189 Days) - FLSA STATUS: NON-EXEMPT, This is a salaried position assigned to the Licensed Employee Salary Schedule. - POSITION SUMMARY: ... (prose) - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: long list. - Position Expectations: list. - Position Requirements: Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENTS. - Working Conditions: description. - Equal Opportunity Employer boilerplate (remove). - Also mention "Employer-paid retirement" as benefit. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph. Also remove Position Type, Date Posted, Location, Date Available, Closing Date maybe as minor metadata folded into short

or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like location, date posted, etc. But we should not repeat job title as heading. We need sections: maybe About the role (POSITION SUMMARY), Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities + Position Expectations?), Requirements (Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENTS?), Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Skills maybe from Position Expectations? Benefits: Employer-paid retirement. Pay: salary range. Schedule: Terms of Employment (9 Months or 185/189 Days). Also maybe Working Conditions could be part of Requirements or separate? But we only have headings list; we can include Working Conditions under Requirements or maybe as its own section if content exists. But we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine. Let's decide sections: - About the role: POSITION SUMMARY (prose) - Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities + Position Expectations (maybe combine) - Requirements: Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENTS, Working Conditions (maybe) - Benefits: Employer-paid retirement - Pay: salary range - Schedule: Terms of Employment (9 Months or 185/189 Days) We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can format as lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract details. First, metadata: Position Type, Date Posted, Location, Date Available, Closing Date. We can put in a short

    maybe like:

    Position Type: Teaching-Special Education/Resource Teacher | Posted: 9/23/2026 | Location: Fernley High | Available: Oct/2026 | Closing: Open until filled

    . That's okay. Now About the role: POSITION SUMMARY paragraph. Let's copy exactly: "The special education teacher is responsible for establishing teaching strategies which are goal oriented and based upon proven instructional techniques that are designed to benefit students with disabilities within a comprehensive life skills program. Instruction is related to functional curriculum domains; domestic, vocational, recreational, community, functional academics. This person will be expected to adhere to the LCSD Professional Standards for Licensed Employees as outlined in policy and the CBA and report directly to the school site administrator." We need to keep that as prose in

    . Now Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities list (many bullet-like sentences). Also Position Expectations list. We need to convert each sentence into

  • items. Ensure we keep all details. Let's list Essential Duties And Responsibilities sentences (they start with "The special education teacher ..."). I'll extract: 1. The special education teacher follows mandated compliance standards established by the Federal, the State, or the District regulations relative to program development and implementation. 2. The special education teacher maintains appropriate student records and submits required reports and other needed information for the effective, efficient operation of the school within designated time limits. 3. On review of all confidential special education documents, the special education teacher has ensured compliance with all state and federal regulations. 4. The special education teacher maintains strict confidentiality with regards to records and information that has been obtained in the course of professional service with respect to students, parents, and other staff members, unless disclosure serves professional purposes or is required by law. 5. The special education teacher demonstrates acceptable command of the English language in written and oral communication. 6. The special education teacher carries out clerical duties such as attendance, budgeting of materials, recording of grades, etc., promptly and accurately. 7. The special education teacher attends and participates in all required training. 8. Manage and assign additional adult student's support as necessary i.e. paraprofessional. 9. Maintain accurate and timely records in PowerSchool. 10. Provides instruction that is related to functional curriculum domains; domestic, vocational, recreational, community, functional academics; 11. Ensure research-based instructional methods and materials are utilized (i.e. general education curriculum, Edmark, TouchMath, FACTER, LCCE, Syracuse); 12. Provides meaningful, relevant activities for instruction; 13. Ensures instruction occurs in natural settings (i.e., regular education classroom, community based); 14. Ensures that Age-appropriate instructional materials and tasks are utilized; differentiated and/or multi-leveled instruction is provided; pre-planning is evident and objectives of lesson are evident; 15. Ensures that standards-based instruction is occurring, and students are assessed using the most appropriate testing, e.g., state alternate assessment. 16. Instructional adaptations are used in order to support student learning (i.e. picture cues & supports, student grouping, Cooperative Learning, sign language, individualized schedules); 17. Ensures that functional communication skills are taught and individualized communication tools are evident (i.e. picture cards, picture display boards, picture schedules, sign language, voice output electronic devices, consequence maps); 18. Addresses student behaviors individually, through positive behavioral supports, support plans or appropriate goals and objectives; 19. Ensures that student progress is monitored through regular data collection and individual plans are adjusted as appropriate through annual IEP meetings or more frequently if appropriate. Now Position Expectations list: - Demonstrate knowledge, skill, and ability to provide instruction in an elementary classroom. - Work cooperatively with students, parents, peers, administration, and community members. - Guide the learning process toward achievement of curriculum and student goals. - Establish and communicate clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects. - Employ a variety of instructional techniques and strategies aligned with instructional objectives, in order to meet the needs of all students. - Participate as collaborative member with other faculty and staff. - Maintain accurate and complete records as required by law and district policy. - Maintain and improve professional competence through continued education and in-service. - Communicate professionally and effectively in written, oral, and non-verbal terms. - Perform other job-related duties as may be assigned by the site administrator/supervisor. We can combine both lists under Responsibilities. Now Requirements: Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENTS, Working Conditions. Education and Training: "Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college or university; Master's Degree preferred. Experience working with the educational setting in an area of special education preferred." Licenses and Certifications: "Must possess or be able to acquire a Nevada teaching license issued by the Nevada Department of Education and be certified in the relevant subject area. When applying for a certificated licensed position, candidates must meet the minimum qualifications as listed on the appropriate position vacancy announcement." PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENTS: a paragraph with many details. We need to keep all details; we can break into list items for readability but must preserve all info. The instruction: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a list for PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENTS items. Let's extract PHYSICAL AND MENTAL REQUIREMENTS sentences: - Strength, dexterity, coordination, and vision to use keyboard and video display terminal for prolonged periods. - Strength and stamina to bend, stoop, sit, and stand for long periods of time. - Dexterity and coordination to handle files and single pieces of paper; occasional lifting of files, stacks of paper or reports, references, student work, and other materials. - Some reaching for items above and below waist and head level. - Some reaching, bending, squatting, and stooping to assist students access files, student work, and other items is necessary. - The manual dexterity and cognitive ability to operate a personal computer and other educational technology (LCD projector, SmartBoard, iPads/Tablets, augmentative communication devices, etc.) to enhance student learning. - Involves hearing and speech to communicate in person or over the telephone. - Must have the ability to lift 50 pounds or 1/3 body weight, whichever is greater, to waist height, perform a 2 to 3 person lift, and the ability to restrain student(s) as needed and in accordance with state regulations. - In compliance with applicable disability laws, reasonable accommodations may be provided for qualified individuals with a disability who require and request such accommodations. - Incumbents and individuals who have been offered employment are encouraged to discuss potential accommodations with the employer.

May involve exposure to noise levels ranging from moderate to very loud on occasional to frequent time periods. May involve work in crowded environments. May involve frequent to moderate lifting and other physical demands. Hazards: Stress, anxiety, verbal and physical aggression. Classroom furniture, playground/office equipment, blood borne pathogens, communicable diseases, chemicals (as related to specific assignment), and power/hand operated equipment and machinery (as related to specific assignment)." We can make list items for each condition. Now Benefits: "Employer-paid retirement". Also maybe other benefits? Only that mentioned. Pay: "Range $50,761-$92,279 annually with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience". Actually the range sentence includes Employer-paid retirement; but we already have Benefits separate. We'll keep Pay as salary range. Schedule: "Terms of Employment: 9 Months or (185/189 Days)". Also FLSA STATUS: NON-EXEMPT, This is a salaried position assigned to the Licensed Employee Salary Schedule. Could include in Schedule or maybe a separate section? But we only have headings list; we could include FLSA status in Schedule section or maybe in About the role? Better to include in Schedule section as part of terms. We'll create Schedule section with: Terms of Employment: 9 Months or (185
