We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where there is real content. Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide sections: The description includes Primary Function, Essential Functions (with subcategories: Instructional & Academic Support, Behavioral Support, Communication & Collaboration, Student Care & Safety, Data & Systems Support, Supervision Duties, Professional Responsibilities, Other Functions). Also Knowledge of, Ability to, Physical Requirements, Environment, Other Requirements, Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications). Also maybe "About the role" could be the Primary Function paragraph.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for each bullet list we need
- . For prose use
. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we only include sections where there is real content.
We need to decide headings: Could use "About the role" for primary function. Then "Responsibilities" for essential functions (maybe combine subcategories). Could also have "Knowledge and Skills" but we have separate headings: Skills, Qualifications. The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have Knowledge of and Ability to (skills). Also Physical Requirements etc could be under "Requirements". But we have "Requirements" heading generic. Could put Physical Requirements, Environment, Other Requirements under Requirements. Also Qualifications separate.
We need to avoid creating Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections if not present. There's no pay, schedule, benefits info. So omit those.
We must not repeat job title. So no heading for "S.A.F.E. Program Specialist". Good.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. So just sections.
Let's structure:
About the role
Primary Function: The S.A.F.E. Program Specialist provides instructional, behavioral, and personal care support to students with moderate to severe disabilities within the S.A.F.E. program. This position supports students in accessing their Individualized Education Program (IEP) services by assisting with instructional activities, implementing accommodations and modifications as directed by the Education Specialist, and supporting student engagement, behavior, and independence across school settings.
Then Responsibilities: Could be a list of essential functions. But we have subcategories; we could either make a single list with items for each essential function grouping, or we could have subheadings? The instruction only allows for section headings; we could still use for subheadings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but likely we should stick to those. Could we use ? Not specified. Safer to only use those headings. So we can have Responsibilities section with a containing each essential function as - . Each
- can contain prose describing that function.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include each bullet from the description.

Physical Requirements, Environment, Other Requirements: Could be under Requirements heading.
Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications list.
We must not include boilerplate like "Larchmont Schools reserves the right to revise this job description at any time." and "Larchmont Schools is an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER." Remove.
Also remove "Other Requirements: Support the mission and vision of the school; exercise good judgment and professional integrity; maintain fingerprint clearance and TB clearance." That's substantive, keep under Requirements.
Now produce HTML.

Responsibilities
- Instructional & Academic Support: ... (maybe we can break into multiple li for each bullet). But we need to preserve all detail. Could embed sub-bullets? Not allowed? We can just have each bullet as li, with the subpoints as sentences within li. That's okay.
We'll produce li for each major category with its subpoints combined? But that may lose detail. Better to have each bullet as separate li, preserving detail. We'll need to decide grouping.
Simplify: For each bullet point from the original, we create an li. That will be many li but preserves detail.
Let's list all bullet points from essential functions as separate li.
I'll extract each bullet:
