We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections apply. From posting: There's a Summary (maybe About the role). There's Position Responsibilities (Responsibilities). There's Requirements (Minimum Qualifications etc). There's also Knowledge and Skills (maybe Skills). There's Benefits listed: "Full-time Benefits may include (if applicable): Paid Holidays/Holy Days, Accrued Vacation & Sick Pay, 403b Retirement, 401 (a) Pension Plan, Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Employee Assistance Program, Short-term/Long-term Disability." Also note "Benefits may vary based on employment status and location." So we have Benefits content. Pay: Not mentioned. Schedule: Not mentioned (though part-time). The posting says "Employment Status: Part-time". That's schedule info? It's part-time but not schedule details like hours. We could include Schedule if we have specifics; but only "Part-time" is given. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. For Schedule, we have "Employment Status: Part-time". That's a schedule type. Could we treat that as schedule content? Probably yes: we can include a Schedule section with that detail. However they said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Part-time" is not filler; it's actual info. So we can include Schedule. Pay: No mention of salary/hourly rate. So omit Pay. Benefits: we have content. Qualifications: The posting has "Minimum Qualifications: Education ... Experience ... License and Credentials". That could go under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. Usually Requirements includes education, experience, licenses. Qualifications could be similar. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available. We need to avoid duplication. We could put education/experience/license under Requirements, and then Knowledge and Skills under Skills. Or we could put Requirements for education/experience/license, Qualifications for knowledge/skills? But they also have a Skills heading. Let's think: The posting includes "Minimum Knowledge And Skills" list. That's clearly skills. So we can put that under Skills heading. Thus: - About the role: Summary paragraph(s). Could combine the summary paragraphs (two paragraphs). We'll put them in

. - Responsibilities: list of duties. The posting has many responsibilities grouped under headings: Position Responsibilities (with bullet-like sentences), Planning/Preparation, Administrative/Management, Intervention/Direct Services, Collaboration, Professional Responsibilities. We need to output a

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We should combine all duty statements into list items. Should we preserve the grouping headings? Probably not; just list items. Ensure we capture all responsibilities. Let's extract responsibilities: From "Position Responsibilities" paragraph list: - Supports and upholds the philosophy of Catholic education and the mission of the school - Acts as a witness to Gospel values by modeling the teachings of the Catholic Church - Supports and adheres to the policies and procedures of the school and Archdiocese of San Antonio, including the Religious Standards for Catholic School Employees - Maintains confidentiality regarding school matters - Adheres to safety training and protocols on a daily basis, and takes precautionary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of self, others. - Responsible for protecting the confidentiality of any information or material obtained in the service with the organization to include but not limited to client names and information, services rendered to clients, donors names and gifts, internal and external investigations or results of any investigations, and financial information. - Adherence to the Code of Conduct and the Faith and Moral Policy is mandatory. - Every employee is required to take a solution-oriented approach in their interactions and undertakings, as well as being a team member that promotes collaboration and commitment to the Mission and Vision of the organization. - Performs other duties as assigned. Then "Planning/Preparation": - Assist the teacher(s) in preparing materials, teaching aids, bulletin boards and equipment for direct instructional activity, including locating, copying, collating, distributing, and/or grouping materials supporting instructional activities planned by the teacher. - Schedule space for specialized instructional programs and coordinate the arrangement of equipment, desks, tables, chairs and activity areas - Examine short- and long-term unit plans prepared by the teacher and anticipate the need for specific supplies and materials - Assist the teacher in preparing for changing curriculum to meet the needs of students - Confer with teacher on progress of students. - Serve as substitute teacher when necessary "Administrative/Management": - Use time efficiently - Provide student supervision before, during, and after school while they are loading, riding, and unloading buses or cars, on the playground, in the cafeteria, in a learning or practice situation, following appropriate training, as assigned. - Assist in maintaining the security of records, materials, and equipment - Assist the teacher in the enforcement of classroom rules and the maintenance of appropriate records. - Maintain a clean and orderly environment for students - Check objective tests and mark errors but not assign a grade. - Escort or transport students to and from classrooms, clinic, cafeteria as required. "Intervention/Direct Services": - Provide instructional assistance as planned or coordinated by the teacher or administrator. - Lead small group activity, following appropriate training, planned by the teacher in an atmosphere where students are actively engaged in meaningful learning experiences. - Lead small group activity, following appropriate training, planned by the teacher in an atmosphere where students are actively engaged in meaningful learning experiences. (duplicate line; we should keep only one? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines are present in source; we should keep them? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines are substantive? They are repeated; maybe we should keep both? But that seems odd. Usually we would deduplicate but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does that mean we must keep duplicates? It says "do NOT invent or summarize away detail". Removing a duplicate could be considered summarizing away detail? But it's redundant detail. I'd keep only one instance to avoid redundancy but maybe they'd consider that summarizing. Safer to keep both? However that would produce duplicate list items which is weird. I'd keep one; but to be safe, I could keep both but note it's duplicate. I'd choose to keep one because it's obviously a copy-paste error; but the instruction ambiguous. I'll keep one. - Assist students with personal hygiene, health and safety issues, or grooming if required. "Collaboration": - Work closely with teacher(s) or other professionals to create a quality instructional environment. - Meet and deal effectively with staff members, students, parents, administrators, and other contact persons using tact and good judgment. - Exercise service orientation when working with others - Exhibit interpersonal skills to work as an effective team member. "Professional Responsibilities": - Demonstrate initiative in the performance of assigned responsibilities. - Follow attendance, punctuality, and other qualities of an appropriate work ethic - Ensure adherence to good safety standards. - Model and maintain high ethical standards. - Keep supervisor informed of potential problems or unusual events. - Use effective, positive interpersonal communication skills. - Respond to inquiries and concerns in a timely manner - Demonstrate support for the school and its goals and priorities - Prepare or assist in the preparation of all required reports and maintain all appropriate records. - Demonstrate initiative in identifying potential problems or opportunities for improvement - Participate in cross-training activities as required. - Perform other tasks consistent with the goals and objectives of this position. Now Requirements: we have Minimum Qualifications: Education, Experience, License and Credentials. We need to output as list items under Requirements. Education: High school diploma or equivalent General Education Diploma (GED) (maybe two options). We'll list as items. Experience: Two (2) years of study at an institution of higher education; or (b) Associate’s or higher degree; or (c) Knowledge and ability to assist in instruction in core subjects; Experience working at day camps, youth groups, private schools, licensed day-care centers, or similar experience with children License and Credentials: Reliable transportation, Valid driver license, Valid vehicle insurance, Must pass archdiocesan Safe Environment Requirements and background screening, Must pass Texas DPS Fingerprint-based Applicant Clearinghouse screening We'll list each as separate
  • . Skills: Minimum Knowledge And Skills list.

Now Benefits: list: - Paid Holidays/Holy Days - Accrued Vacation & Sick Pay - 403b Retirement - 401 (a) Pension Plan - Medical - Dental - Vision - Life - Employee Assistance Program - Short-term/Long-term Disability Also note "Full-time Benefits may include (if applicable):" and "*Benefits may vary based on employment status and location." We could include that as a

    before list. Schedule: we have "Employment Status: Part-time". Also maybe FLSA Status: Non-Exempt/Hourly, Reports to: Principal. Those could be considered metadata; but we could include them in Schedule section? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we could put employment status, FLSA status, reports to in a short

    under Schedule or maybe under About the role. Since Schedule section is for schedule specifics, we could put "Part-time" there, and maybe also note FLSA status and reporting line as a short

    . But better to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Schedule: we have Part-time (employment status). That's specific. So we can create Schedule section with a

    containing "Part-time". Could also add FLSA status and reporting line as extra detail but that's not schedule; but we could still include them in same

    . It's not prohibited. Now About the role: we have Summary paragraphs. Summary: two paragraphs: "The Instructional Assistant fulfills the mission of the Catholic school by assisting the classroom teacher in planning, guiding, and educating students in a loving, Christ-centered environment. The Instructional Assistant assists the classroom teacher in evaluating the learning process of the students in the Catholic school for whom the teacher is responsible within the framework of the school’s philosophy, organization, and curriculum. The Instructional Assistant helps the teacher prepare instructional materials, assists with students, and supports learning activities that have been defined by the teacher." We can combine into one or two

    . We'll keep as one

    maybe. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce:
