Middle School - Social Worker/Guidance Counselor - 2026/2027 - LONG TERM SUBSTITUTE

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About What Deerfield Public Schools District 109 is All About... The Role of the Middle School Social Worker/Guidance Counselor in Deerfield 109 DEERFIELD 109 - MISSION ... etc. We need to use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to include sections like About the role (maybe "About the role" heading). The posting includes mission, vision, general information, job goal(s), major duties & performance responsibilities, mental demands, physical demands, work environment, etc. We need to map to headings: About the role (maybe mission/vision?), Responsibilities (major duties), Requirements (licensure, education, experience), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements?), Skills (maybe mental demands?), Benefits (none given), Pay (rate of pay $300 per day), Schedule (maybe work calendar teacher? Not specific schedule). We should only include sections with real content. Pay: we have rate of pay $300 per day. So include Pay section. Schedule: we have work calendar: Teacher (maybe indicates teacher calendar). Not specific schedule like hours. Might be considered schedule info? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states "WORK CALENDAR: Teacher". That's a schedule type. Could include Schedule section with that. Benefits: none mentioned, so omit. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. The page already shows it. So we don't put a heading for the title. We need to use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include mission, vision, general info (title, department, licensure, endorsement, classification, FLSA status, reports to, supervisory responsibilities, prior experience, evaluation, dates, availability, placement, work calendar, rate of pay). Also job goal(s). Then major duties & performance responsibilities (list). Then mental demands (knowledge, ability, education/preparation, reasoning). Then physical demands. Then work environment. We need to decide how to structure sections. Perhaps:

  About the role

  (mission/vision and general info). Could combine mission/vision and general info as prose.

  Responsibilities

  (major duties & performance responsibilities) as list.

  Requirements

  (licensure, endorsement, classification, FLSA status, reports to, supervisory responsibilities, prior experience, evaluation, dates, availability, placement, work calendar, rate of pay?) Actually pay separate. But we have separate Pay section. Maybe Requirements includes licensure, endorsement, classification, FLSA status, reports to, supervisory responsibilities, prior experience, evaluation, dates, availability, placement, work calendar. Qualifications could be education/preparation (Master's degree, etc). Skills could be mental demands (knowledge, ability, reasoning). Physical demands and work environment could be separate sections? Not in allowed headings list but we could still use

  for them if we have content. The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive. So we can add other headings like Mental Demands, Physical Demands, Work Environment if needed. But better to map to allowed headings: Skills could cover mental demands; Physical demands maybe not covered; but we could include under Skills? Might be okay to add Physical Demands and Work Environment as headings as they are substantive. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we can include. We must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Ensure we have real content. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The text didn't have those except maybe some generic lines like "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." that's okay. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include everything. Let's extract content: Mission: "Where challenging experiences foster confidence, collaborative relationships build community, and creative environments ignite curiosity." Vision: "We will develop each student to be emotionally resilient, socially skilled, and academically prepared by forging connections within, across, and beyond our classrooms, and by embracing each student's uniqueness." General Information block: TITLE: Middle School - Social Worker/Guidance Counselor - LONG-TERM SUBSTITUTE DEPARTMENT: Student Services LICENSURE: Professional Educator License (PEL), Substitute License (SUB) ENDORSEMENT: Social Work (PK-21), School Counselor (PK-21) or Equivalent CLASSIFICATION: At Will - Substitute FLSA STATUS: Non-exempt REPORTS TO: Building administration SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES: N/A PRIOR EXPERIENCE: Successful completion of student teaching and/or internship EVALUATION: N/A DATES: 11/20/2026 to 3/19/2027 AVAILABILITY: One (1.0) Position(s)/Full-Time PLACEMENT: Shepard Middle School WORK CALENDAR: Teacher RATE OF PAY: $300 per day JOB GOAL(S) Under General Supervision, The Employee Will Help facilitate solutions for students to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. School Social Workers collaborate with educators, administrators, and families to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environment for all students and strengthen connections between home and school. Major Duties & Performance Responsibilities: a long paragraph with many duties. We need to turn into list items. The text includes sentences separated by periods. We can split into logical items. We'll need to preserve all info; we can create

  • each duty. Mental Demands: Knowledge, Ability, Education/Preparation, Reasoning. Physical Demands: list. Work Environment: description. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we won't have heading for title. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft sections:

    About the role

    Mission: Where challenging experiences foster confidence, collaborative relationships build community, and creative environments ignite curiosity.

    Vision: We will develop each student to be emotionally resilient, socially skilled, and academically prepared by forging connections within, across, and beyond our classrooms, and by embracing each student's uniqueness.

    But we have Pay separate section; we could still include pay in general info but better to have Pay section. However we must not duplicate. We could keep pay in Pay section and not repeat in general info. But we need to preserve all info; we can mention pay in Pay section and not repeat elsewhere. However the general info includes rate of pay; we could omit from general info and put in Pay section. That's okay as long as we preserve it somewhere. Thus general info list without pay. Then

    Pay
