- Then a paragraph about district mission etc. That's likely boilerplate (mission statement). Might be considered not substantive for job posting? It's generic about district. Might be considered filler but maybe we keep as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the job summary. But we have a "Job Summary" section already. The mission statement is more about district; could be considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The mission statement is not exactly those but could be considered fluff. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement is substantive about district but not about the role. Might be considered not needed. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine mission statement into an "About the district" but not a required heading. Probably better to omit it as it's not directly about the job. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, but mission statement is not duplicated. However it's generic fluff; but not explicitly prohibited. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including a mission statement would be a thin section. I'd omit it.
Also we have "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc which is boilerplate to remove.
We need to produce sections: maybe "Responsibilities" (Job Summary), "Requirements" (Qualifications), "Pay" (Compensation), "Benefits" (Benefits), maybe "Schedule" (5 hrs./day, during school day hours). Also maybe "About the role" could be the job summary but we already have Responsibilities. Could also include "Qualifications" as Requirements.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive info: effective date ASAP, application deadline, application procedure (apply online). Should we include those? They are not under standard headings but could be placed in a
maybe under a heading like "Application Information"? But we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction says use those headings for section headings. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings when appropriate. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but likely we should stick to those. However we need to include application deadline etc. Could we put them under "About the role" as prose? Or maybe under a generic
without heading? The instruction: "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." It didn't say we must use headings for everything; we can have
paragraphs without heading. So we can include application details as
without heading.
Thus structure:
5 hrs./day, during school day hours
Effective Date Of Employment: ASAP
Application Deadline: September 23, 2026 – 4:00 p.m.

(but we already have that earlier; maybe we can avoid duplication. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should not duplicate the schedule info. We already have schedule in the initial maybe we can keep it there and not have a separate Schedule section. But we need to include schedule somewhere; we can keep it in the initial paragraph and not create a Schedule heading. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we could create a Schedule section with the schedule info; but then we would have duplicate if we also have it earlier. Better to not duplicate; we can put schedule info under a Schedule heading and not repeat elsewhere. Then we can drop the earlier separate
for schedule. But we still need to include effective date, deadline, application procedure. Those can be in
without heading.
