Principal.
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. The posting includes duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits/pay info, schedule? Not schedule. Pay info: mentions pay setting determined after selection, pay tables can be found online, but no specific numbers. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." and "Pay tables for Bureau of Indian Education Title 25 positions can be found online". Also "Direct Deposit of pay is required." "Government Quarters ARE be available." "A Recruitment Incentive IS NOT offered." So there is some benefits and pay info, though vague. We can include Benefits and Pay sections with the content present. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting includes generic statements but still specific enough? It says benefits package, direct deposit, government quarters, no recruitment incentive. That's specific enough to include.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are a paragraph; we could break into list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are not explicitly a list but we could treat each sentence as list item? Might be better to keep as
for prose, but if we have a list we must use ul. The duties paragraph includes many items separated by commas and semicolons; we could convert to list. However the instruction says "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". If we don't have an explicit list, we can keep as
. Safer to keep as
for duties.
Requirements: includes citizenship, selective service, background investigation, driver's license, licensure, FLSA exempt, probationary period, financial disclosure. Could be list.
Qualifications: includes education, experience, certification/licensure, etc. Could be list.
Benefits: includes comprehensive benefits package, direct deposit, government quarters, no recruitment incentive.
Pay: includes pay setting determined after selection, pay tables online, direct deposit required (already in benefits), maybe mention base increment? Not needed.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's craft sections:
Responsibilities
with containing duties.
Requirements
with - each requirement.
Qualifications
with - each qualification item.
Benefits
with - each benefit.
Pay
with maybe.
We must not include schedule.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.
Let's extract details.
Duties paragraph: "Assigns, supervises and directs the work of professional and non/para-professional employees across school functions (e.g., food service, academics, transportation, residential, administrative support, etc.) which may include scheduling and coordinating work assignments, relaying changes in operational/regulatory policies, providing training opportunities, participate in the selection of employees, oversee performance management of staff, approving leave, and addressing disciplinary concerns.The incumbent is responsible for developing and maintaining collaborative relationships based on appropriate transparency and communication among teachers, parents, pupils and community.Conducts continuing evaluation and appraisal of personnel, programs and pupils using appropriate measurement instruments as well as empirical data as a basis or justifying educational programs and planning and measuring effective measuring effectiveness of current programs.Within the limits of the annual budget allocations for the school and combined special projects, is responsible for total financial management and expenditures for school operations including the development, proposal writing, implementation and evaluation of programs and projects to take maximum advantage of supplementary funding.In collaboration with the Agency Education Program Administrator, Tribal leaders, school board members, student council, parents, and school staff, formulates school policies and procedures which serve as a basis for planning and coordination the curriculum and associate programs with state accreditation requirements, Bureau standards, and student recruitment."
We'll keep as one paragraph.
Requirements: list:
- U.S. Citizenship is required.
- Applicant responsible for reading 'How to Apply' and 'Required Documents' Sections for accuracy and completeness of application. (But we are to remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about reading How to Apply; that's application instruction. Should we drop? It's part of requirements but it's about application process. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop that line.

- Additional information Multiple positions may be filled from this announcement.
We need to keep all substantive info. Some of this is repetitive; we can condense but must not lose detail. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may be okay if we keep the same meaning? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot summarize; we need to keep the detail as is. That's tough because the text is long and repetitive. But we can keep it as is, maybe break into
paragraphs.
We can keep the qualifications section as a series of
paragraphs preserving the text.
Similarly for Benefits and Pay.
Benefits: from posting:
- "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding." (Repeated twice)
