We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if posting has real specific content. We have content: description paragraphs, qualifications, preferred qualifications, physical requirements, essential skills, essential functions (with sub-sections), conditions of employment, evaluation. Also maybe pay, schedule, benefits not present, so we should not include those headings. We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we can choose appropriate headings based on content. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings? It says e.g., meaning examples. We can use appropriate headings like About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Skills, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to preserve all substantive information. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. So we will create sections for: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph), Qualifications (including required and preferred), Physical Requirements (maybe under Requirements?), Essential Skills, Essential Functions (maybe Responsibilities), Conditions of Employment, Evaluation. We need to decide mapping: The posting includes a description paragraph at start: "The Registered/Licensed Professional Nurse supports the mission..." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Then "QUALIFICATIONS:" section with bullet list. Then "Preferred Qualifications". Then "Physical Requirements". Then "Essential Skills". Then "ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:" with subcategories. Then "CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT:" and "EVALUATION:". We need to output HTML fragment only. We'll structure:

    About the role

    ... (the introductory paragraph(s) maybe two sentences). We'll combine them into one paragraph. Then

    Qualifications

    • ... each bullet from required qualifications.
    Then

    Preferred Qualifications

    • ... each bullet.
    Then

    Physical Requirements

    • ... each bullet.
    Then

    Essential Skills

    • ... each bullet.
    Then

    Responsibilities

    (or Essential Functions). Use Responsibilities heading. Under that we can have subheadings? The instruction only says use

    for section headings; we could still use

    for sub-sections? Not prohibited but maybe better to keep only h3 sections. Could embed subheadings as or

    with bold. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep the subcategories as

    with bold headings inside. Or we could make separate h3 sections for each subcategory (Student Health Services, Student Support & Special Programs, etc.) but that may be many sections; but they are substantive. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe keep Responsibilities as one section and inside we can have paragraphs with bold headings. Thus:

    Responsibilities

    Student Health Services: ... (list as

    • ...)

      etc. But we need to use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each bullet list should be
        • . For prose we use

          . So we can have

          Student Health Services

          then
            list. Similarly for other subcategories. Then

            Conditions of Employment

            ... (the paragraph). Then

            Evaluation

            ... . We must not include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections because not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID. We must preserve all info: need to include the "Updated July 2026" notes? They appear in Physical Requirements and Conditions of Employment. Should we keep them? They are metadata but maybe considered minor; but instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

            or drop it." The "Updated July 2026" is minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Probably we can drop it as it's not substantive. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; the date is not substantive. So we can drop. Also "Essential Skills" list includes items like "Listening and speaking skills", etc. We'll keep. Now produce HTML. Let's extract the content. Intro paragraph(s): "The Registered/Licensed Professional Nurse supports the mission of West Northfield School District 31 and is committed to empowering every student to make a positive impact on tomorrow's community. The Registered/Licensed Professional Nurse promotes the health, safety, and well-being of students and staff to ensure every student is healthy, safe, present, and ready to learn.
