High School Principal – Lighthouse Connections Academy

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. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting: It includes many details: school summary, position summary and responsibilities (long list), education (training etc), other key responsibilities (very long list), qualifications (Michigan admin credential required, Michigan residency preferred, Bachelor’s and Master’s degree required, valid Michigan teaching cert with 3 years teaching experience, virtual teaching preferred, three years admin/management experience required, charter school management a plus, strong leader). Also there is mention of "Education" section with bullet points about training etc. That could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications? The posting includes "Education" heading with bullet points about training, school law, etc. That seems like responsibilities/qualifications. We'll need to decide sections. We have to include sections only when there is real specific content. Likely we will have: - About the role (maybe from Position Summary And Responsibilities? Actually "Position Summary And Responsibilities" is a heading; we could treat that as About the role? But we need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings. We can create:

About the role

with a brief paragraph summarizing the role (maybe from Position Summary And Responsibilities first paragraph). Then

Responsibilities

with a

• list of duties. Then

  Qualifications

  with list of qualifications. Possibly

  Skills

  if there are skill mentions (e.g., strong leader, communication, etc). Could also include

  Requirements

  if distinct from qualifications. But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have qualifications list; we could treat that as Qualifications. Requirements maybe not needed if same. Could include Requirements for things like "Michigan administrative credential required", "Michigan Residency preferred", "Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree", etc. But those are qualifications. So we can put them under Qualifications. Skills: we have "Strong leader", "high quality communication", etc. Could list under Skills. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not mentioned in posting. So we should NOT include those sections. Thus output: About the role (p), Responsibilities (ul), Qualifications (ul), Skills (ul). Ensure we preserve all substantive info; we must not omit any details. That's a lot; we need to capture all responsibilities and qualifications. We must be careful not to invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive information. That means we need to include every bullet point from the posting as list items. That's huge but doable. We need to extract responsibilities from the text: There are two big blocks: "Position Summary And Responsibilities" (first paragraph) and "Other Key Responsibilities Include The Following". Also within Education section there are responsibilities about training etc. Also there are many bullet-like sentences. We need to convert each distinct responsibility into a
• . Must not lose any. Let's parse the posting text.
