It says Pay Grade: ESP Salary Schedule but no amount. That's not specific pay; we should not create Pay section because it's not a specific amount. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Benefits, we have "Includes benefits." plus housing and bonus. That's specific enough to include Benefits. For Schedule, we have M-F, .9375 FTE, 37.5 hrs/wk. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. For Pay, we have no specific salary; just Pay Grade. That's not a specific pay amount, so we should not create Pay section. We also have typical work year: 9 months. Could be part of Schedule or About the role. Might include in Schedule or About. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO statement, contact info, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the summary, duties, education, experience, certifications, skills, benefits, schedule, maybe typical work year, position start date, housing, bonus. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we start with maybe

About the role

then a

with summary and maybe other details like start date, FTE, etc. But we need to decide what goes where. We could have sections: - About the role: summary + maybe start date, FTE, typical work year, location (Animas Valley Elementary School). Could include position begins September 8, 2026 or as soon as possible. - Responsibilities: essential duties list. - Requirements: education, experience, certifications. - Skills: skills, knowledge, equipment. - Benefits: includes benefits, employee workforce housing, $1800 one-time bonus. - Schedule: M-F, .9375 FTE, 37.5 hrs/wk, typical work year 9 months. We must not include Pay section. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. We removed EEO statement, contact info, prepared date, etc. The prepared date is metadata; we can drop it. The typical work year we included in Schedule. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. Check that we didn't include Pay section. Good. Check that we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check that we preserved all substantive information: summary, start date, FTE, housing, bonus, duties, education, experience, certifications, skills, benefits, schedule. We omitted some details like "Job Family: Student Support", "FLSA Status: Non-exempt", "Department: Student Services and School Base". Are those substantive? They are metadata but could be considered part of About the role. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should include those details if they are substantive. However, they are not essential to the role but they are part of posting. The rule says we can drop minor metadata like Job ID/requisition numbers, but these are not exactly minor; they are job family, FLSA status, department. Might be considered substantive. However, the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could incorporate them into About the role paragraph. We should include: Job Family: Student Support, FLSA Status: Non-exempt, Department: Student Services and School Base. Also maybe "Typical Work Year: 9 months" we already have. We should also include "Pay Grade: ESP Salary Schedule" maybe as part of About the role? But we decided not to create Pay section; we can mention it in About the role as "Pay Grade: ESP Salary Schedule". However, that is not a specific pay amount; but we can still include it as info. The rule about Pay section: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It doesn't forbid mentioning pay details in other sections. So we can include Pay Grade in About the role. Similarly, we could include "Prepared Date" etc but that's likely metadata not needed. The instruction says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include some metadata in About the role paragraph. Thus we should
