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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive information. We need to parse the description. Key info: - Description: "1.0 FTE (LTS) Effective Date Of Employment Anticipated Dates: November 2, 2026 until March 19, 2027 Application Deadline September 28, 2026 – 4:00 p.m. Application Procedures Internal and External Candidates: Apply on-line at www.district196.org" - Job Summary: "Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196.Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract.Carry out responsibilities as defined by the principal.Maintain good communication and cooperation with staff and parents." - Qualifications: "Licensed by the state of Minnesota to teach k-12 art.Strong general academic background.Ability to relate positively to students, staff, and community.Demonstrated experience and proficiency working with a culturally, ethnically, racially and socioeconomically diverse school community is preferred." - Responsible To: "Building Principal" - Compensation / Benefits: "According to contractual agreement. If benefit eligible, benefits are available to new employees effective the first day of active employment. Benefits include medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, long term disability insurance, sick-leave, state pension plan, tax-deferred retirement savings account, and flexible spending account. Some employee groups also receive vacation, holidays or personal leave. Benefit information is available at Employee Benefits - Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan ISD 196" - Then there is a paragraph about team, mission, core values, culture, vision, district description, etc. This is more about the district, not necessarily required but it's substantive information. Should we include? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. It could go under a section like "About the district" or "About the role"? The headings list includes "About the role". Could put district info under "About the role" or maybe a separate section like "About the district". But only allowed headings are those listed? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, not exclusive list. But we should prefer those headings. However we can also create other headings if needed? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings where applicable. The district description could go under "About the role" or maybe "About the district". Since "About the role" is a heading we can use, we can put the district mission etc there. We also have FTE, effective dates, application deadline, application procedures. That's metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph at top with the FTE, dates, deadline, application procedure. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The application instructions line "Apply on-line at www.district196.org" is application instruction; we should remove it. Also "Application Procedures Internal and External Candidates: Apply on-line at www.district196.org" is application instruction; remove. The deadline maybe considered metadata; we can keep as short paragraph. We must not include EEO boilerplate (the long equal opportunity employer section). Remove that. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: job summary, qualifications, responsibilities (maybe from job summary), compensation/benefits, district mission/values/culture/vision/size description. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could include job summary and district description? Or we could split: About the role (job summary) and About the district (mission etc). But only headings from list; we could add "About the district" as an h3 if we think it's substantive. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine district info into About the role. - Responsibilities: we have responsibilities listed in job summary: Teach curriculum, carry out responsibilities as defined by master contract, carry out responsibilities as defined by principal, maintain good communication and cooperation with staff and parents. Could be a list. - Requirements: maybe qualifications? But we have Qualifications heading. Could treat Qualifications as separate section. - Skills: maybe ability to relate positively etc. Could be under Qualifications or Skills. - Benefits: we have benefits list. - Pay: not specified; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "According to contractual agreement." No specific pay. So we should not create Pay section. - Schedule: not specified; we have FTE 1.0 LTS, effective dates, but not schedule like full-time etc. Could we treat schedule as "Full-time (1.0 FTE) LTS"? The posting says "1.0 FTE (LTS)". That indicates full-time limited term schedule? Could be considered schedule. But we need to check if we should create Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state FTE and LTS, which is a schedule type. So we could include Schedule section with that info. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state FTE (LTS) which is schedule. So we can include Schedule. But we also have effective dates (anticipated dates). That could be under Schedule or maybe a separate "Contract term". But we could include effective dates in Schedule section as well. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

About the role

Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196. Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract. Carry out responsibilities as defined by the principal. Maintain good communication and cooperation with staff and parents.

Responsibilities

  • Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196
  • Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract
  • Carry out responsibilities as defined by the principal
  • Maintain good communication and cooperation with staff and parents
But that duplicates job summary. Might be redundant. Better to have either About the role (prose) and Responsibilities (list). But the job summary already includes responsibilities. To avoid duplication, we could keep About the role as prose summarizing role, and Responsibilities as list of specific duties. However the prose already lists same items. Might be okay but could be considered duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but could be considered unnecessary. Better to avoid duplication: we can have About the role as a brief description (maybe just the first sentence) and Responsibilities list the rest. But we need to preserve all info; we can split. Let's parse job summary: "Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196.Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract.Carry out responsibilities as defined by the principal.Maintain good communication and cooperation with staff and parents." We could treat first sentence as About the role: "Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196." Then Responsibilities list the other three. But the first sentence is also a responsibility. However it's okay. Alternatively, we could have About the role include the district mission etc, and Responsibilities list the duties. Let's decide: - About the role: include district mission/vision/values description (the paragraph about team, core values, culture, vision, district size, etc). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list the duties from job summary. - Qualifications: list the qualifications. - Benefits: list benefits. - Schedule: include FTE (LTS) and anticipated dates (Nov 2, 2026 - Mar 19, 2027) and application deadline (Sept 28, 2026 4:00 p.m.) maybe. We must not include application instructions (apply online). So we can include deadline but not the apply line. We also have "Effective Date Of Employment Anticipated Dates: November 2, 2026 until March 19, 2027". That's schedule. We also have "1.0 FTE (LTS)". That's schedule. Thus schedule section:

1.0 FTE (LTS). Anticipated employment dates: November 2, 2026 – March 19, 2027. Application deadline: September 28, 2026, 4:00 p.m.

We should not include the "Application Procedures" line. Now we need to ensure we didn't include EEO boilerplate. Remove that large block. Also remove the duplicated lines like "Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract." appears twice in job summary; we should keep only once? The original has it twice inadvertently. We should preserve substantive information but not duplicate lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we need to remove duplicated lines. So we should only include one instance of "Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract." in responsibilities. Thus responsibilities list: Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196; Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract; Carry out responsibilities as defined by the principal; Maintain good communication and cooperation with staff and parents. Now qualifications: "Licensed by the state of Minnesota to teach k-12 art.Strong general academic background.Ability to relate positively to students, staff, and community.Demonstrated experience and proficiency working with a culturally, ethnically, racially and socioeconomically diverse school community is preferred." We can make a list. Now benefits: list as per text. Now about the role: we need to include the district mission etc. Let's extract that paragraph: "Our team of dedicated educators is committed to the mission of Educating, developing, and inspiring our students for lifelong success. Our core values are student-centered, based in empathy and integrity to support the wellbeing of the whole person, and learning with high expectations for all. Our culture of collaboration fosters an environment of inclusivity, engagement and belonging for all students, and inspires a love of learning for all ages.
