We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Estimated Annual Salary: $114,000 (Pay) - No explicit Benefits listed? There's mention of compensation subject to salary schedules, but no benefits details. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits like health insurance etc. So skip Benefits. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So skip Schedule. - About the role: The introductory paragraphs describing the school, mission, etc. Could be considered About the role. We'll include. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions" list bullet points (the long list). Those are duties/responsibilities. - Requirements: Possibly the "Qualifications" section includes Education, Experience, Certifications & Licenses. That could be Requirements. Also there is "Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities" list which could be Skills. We need to decide mapping: The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to separate Qualifications and Skills perhaps. The posting has "Qualifications" heading with Education, Experience, Certifications & Licenses. Then "Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities" list. So we can map: - Qualifications: Education, Experience, Certifications & Licenses. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities list. - Requirements: Might be similar to Qualifications? But we need to include a Requirements section if there is real specific content. The posting may not have a separate "Requirements" heading; but we could treat the Qualifications as Requirements. However we already have Qualifications heading. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. It doesn't forbid having both Qualifications and Requirements if content exists. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can treat "Requirements" as the same as Qualifications? But we need to decide. Better: Use "Requirements" for the mandatory criteria (Education, Experience, Certifications). Use "Skills" for the Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities. Use "Qualifications" maybe for something else? But the posting already has a "Qualifications" heading. So we should keep that as Qualifications. Then we might not need a separate Requirements section (to avoid duplication). However the instruction list includes Requirements as a possible heading; we can omit if no distinct content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Check if any other content: There's also "Out-of-State Applicants" paragraph about certification reciprocity. That could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. It's about certification eligibility. Could be included under Qualifications (Certifications & Licenses). We'll incorporate that into Qualifications. Now we need to format. Use

About the role

then

with prose summarizing the introductory paragraphs (but must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail). That means we cannot summarize away detail; we need to keep all info. However we can keep the original paragraphs as prose within

. It's okay to have multiple

elements. We must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, except boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). The posting includes some duplicated lines? Not sure. We'll need to copy the relevant paragraphs. Let's extract the substantive content: From start: "PRINCIPAL Baldwin Middle-Senior High School Estimated Annual Salary: $114,000 Lead A School. Serve A Community. Help Shape the Future of Baldwin. Duval County Public Schools is seeking an experienced, student-centered, and community-minded educational leader to serve as the next Principal of Baldwin Middle-Senior High School, a unique 6–12 school located in the historic Town of Baldwin in western Duval County, Florida. Serving approximately 1,369 students and supported by a dedicated team of approximately 85 faculty and staff members, Baldwin Middle-Senior High School offers its next principal the opportunity to lead a close-knit school community where relationships, tradition, and a shared commitment to student success are deeply valued. Baldwin is more than the location of this school - it is an important part of its identity.Rooted in small-town tradition and surrounded by the opportunities of the greater Jacksonville area, Baldwin is a close-knit community where generations of families have attended the same schools.
