Posting Date Sep 8, 2025, 9:48:17 AM Primary Location Southwest Side-5450 South Talman Avenue (Talman School) Salary Range $64,469.94 to $82,839.39 We need to include Pay section with salary range. Possibly also location? Not required but could be included in About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include location and posting date in a short

maybe under About the role or separate? Probably better to include in a

after the heading About the role. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have sections: About the role (using CHARACTERISTICS), Responsibilities (ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS), Requirements (MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS), Benefits, Pay. We need to use

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

    for prose. We need to decide what to list as list. For Responsibilities, we have many sentences separated by semicolons. Could convert each clause into

  • . But we must preserve all substantive information; we can break into list items each representing a duty. Similarly for Requirements: we have Education and Experience, Licensure Requirements, Knowledge, Abilities, and Skill, Physical Requirements. Could list each as
  • . Benefits: we have categories: Health & Wellness, Financial Security, Work-Life Balance. Could list each as
  • with subdetails maybe as

    inside? But rule: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make each top-level benefit area as
    • and inside maybe

      for details? Might be okay. Pay: just a

      with salary range. Let's craft. First, About the role: prose

      containing the CHARACTERISTICS. Then Responsibilities:

      Responsibilities

        with each duty as
      • . Need to split the long ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS text into sensible items.
