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 must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. Remove boilerplate: navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Position Summary: description of role. Could be "About the role" heading. - OUR MISSION: maybe part of About Framingham? Could be part of About the role? Might be separate "About Framingham" but we can combine into "About the role" or "About the district". The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings. We have: - Position Summary: could be "About the role". - OUR MISSION: maybe part of "About the role" or separate "About the district". But we can include as part of About the role. - About Framingham: could be part of About the role or separate "About the district". Since we only have limited headings, we could include under About the role. - CERTIFICATES, LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS: that's qualifications. - Training And Experience: qualifications. - Skills And Ability To perform this job successfully...: skills. - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: responsibilities. - PHYSICAL WORKING CONDITIONS: maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted unless we map to something like "Requirements"? But physical working conditions is not in list; we could omit as not required heading. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop it unless we incorporate into another section like "Requirements" or "Skills". Could include under "Requirements" as physical requirements. But the instruction says use headings only for those listed; we can still include other content under those headings. So we can put physical working conditions under "Requirements" or maybe "Skills". Probably "Requirements" includes certificates, licenses, experience, education, physical requirements. - Benefits: there is a line "Click here for more information about our amazing benefits!" but no details. So we cannot create Benefits section because no specific content. So we omit Benefits. - Pay: not mentioned. Omit. - Schedule: not mentioned (position is Long Term Substitute from Sep 29 2026 until TBD). That's a schedule? It gives dates but not schedule details. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states dates but not schedule details like full-time/part-time. Might be considered schedule? It says "From September 29, 2026 until TBD". That's a timeframe, not schedule. Safer to omit Schedule. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Qualifications" separate from Requirements? The list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements: experience, education, certificates. Qualifications: maybe similar. But we can split: Qualifications: certificates, licenses, registrations, education, experience. Requirements: skills and abilities? But we also have Skills section. Let's map: - Qualifications: Certificates, Licenses, Registrations; Training And Experience (education, years experience, bilingual preference). - Requirements: maybe the "Skills And Ability To perform this job successfully" list? But that is skills. Actually they list skills and abilities. So Skills section: that list. - Requirements: maybe the physical working conditions? Or maybe we can treat Requirements as the combination of certificates, experience, education (like qualifications). But we have both headings; we need to avoid duplication. Could put certificates/licenses under Qualifications, and experience/education under Requirements. But the posting has "Training And Experience" heading which includes Master's degree, years experience, bilingual preference. That's qualifications. The "CERTIFICATES, LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS" is separate. So we can put those under Qualifications. Then Requirements could be the "Skills And Ability To perform this job successfully" list? But that is skills. Actually they call it "Skills And Ability To perform this job successfully". So that is skills. So we need Skills section for that. Thus we have: - About the role: Position Summary + OUR MISSION + About Framingham (maybe condensed). - Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities (the five sections I-V). - Qualifications: Certificates, Licenses, Registrations + Training And Experience (education, experience, bilingual preference). - Skills: Skills And Ability To perform this job successfully list. - Possibly also "Physical Working Conditions" could be under Requirements? But we don't have a Requirements heading used yet. We could create Requirements section for physical working conditions and maybe other requirements like compliance? But we already used Responsibilities for duties. Could put physical working conditions under Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Requirements if we have content. Let's put physical working conditions under Requirements. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format with

headings, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details as close as possible. We need to extract the text for each section. Let's gather: About the role: - Position Summary paragraph: "The Long Term Substitute - Coordinator of the Special Education Evaluation Team provides strategic leadership and administrative oversight for the district's special education evaluation processes. Under the direction of the Director of Special Education and the Building Principal, this role ensures the efficient guidance of student evaluations, the monitoring of educational plan implementation, and the coordination of program assessments. The Coordinator plays a critical role in supervising special education staff to maintain Framingham Public Schools' high expectations for academic proficiency and equitable access to instruction. By fostering a culturally responsive and inclusive environment, the Coordinator leads efforts to close the opportunity gap and ensure the healthy growth of all students. This position is vital for maintaining regulatory compliance while delivering transformative educational support to students with diverse needs." - OUR MISSION paragraph(s): "Framingham Public Schools (FPS) is committed to excellence for all students and to creating a workforce that reflects our community’s rich racial, linguistic, and cultural diversity. Guided by our mission to empower free-thinking, responsible citizens, we value inclusion, equity, and cultural responsiveness in all we do. FPS strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment where every student and staff member can thrive. We actively seek educators and staff who are committed to antiracism, social justice, and civic engagement. We strongly encourage applications from individuals with disabilities and from members of historically underrepresented groups. Framingham Public Schools is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to building a culturally responsive, antiracist, and inclusive community where all individuals are valued, respected, and supported to thrive." But note: we must remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the EEO statement. That includes "Framingham Public Schools is an Equal Opportunity Employer...". Also the earlier lines about encouraging applications from individuals with disabilities etc might be considered EEO? It's about encouraging applications from underrepresented groups; could be considered EEO. Safer to remove that whole mission block? But the mission statement about excellence, inclusion, equity, cultural responsiveness is substantive and not boilerplate. The lines about actively seeking educators committed to antiracism, social justice, civic engagement, encouraging applications from individuals with disabilities and historically underrepresented groups is EEO-related. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove those lines. Keep the core mission: "Framingham Public Schools (FPS) is committed to excellence for all students and to creating a workforce that reflects our community’s rich racial, linguistic, and cultural diversity. Guided by our mission to empower free-thinking, responsible citizens, we value inclusion, equity, and cultural responsiveness in all we do. FPS strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment where every student and staff member can thrive." We can keep that. - About Framingham paragraph: "Framingham, Massachusetts, is a vibrant and diverse suburban community located 20 miles west of Boston, serving as a major hub in the MetroWest area. It successfully blends urban convenience with the comfort of New England neighborhoods, characterized by cultural diversity and a strong community spirit. A key asset is the Framingham Public School system, which is committed to equity, inclusion, and student success across its nine elementary schools, three middle schools, and Framingham High School. The district is recognized for its dual language programs, comprehensive special education services, and dedication to serving a diverse student population, preparing all learners for college and careers. Framingham is also home to Framingham State University and offers abundant outdoor opportunities, including Cushing Memorial Park and Callahan State Park. With its blend of educational resources, accessibility, and dynamic community life, Framingham is a welcoming place to live and grow." We can include that as part of About the role. Thus About the role content: combine Position Summary, mission (trimmed), About Framingham. Now Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities sections I-V. We need to preserve all substantive information. The text includes headings I., II., etc. We can convert each to
  • items maybe with subpoints. The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
        with each duty as
      • . The duty paragraphs are long; we can keep them as
      • containing the prose. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's extract each section: I. Evaluations and Intake Process - Provides efficient leadership in guiding the comprehensive evaluation process for children with special needs. - Coordinates program assessment and development with both special education and general education staff to ensure high standards of achievement. - Provides educational leadership for research and methodology improvements within Special Education programs. - Collaborates with administrators to align special education services with the district’s mission of empowering free-thinking, responsible citizens. - Uses evidence-based research and professional literature to inform practice decisions and program developments.
