School Bus Driver(Promotional and Open Competitive)
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule).
- Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
- Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading.
- Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it.
- Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail.
- Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
- Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text.
- Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them.
- Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
- Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
I need to decide on section headings. The posting has:
- Responsibilities (clear)
- Minimum Qualifications (with sub-items)
- Military Credit
- Promotional Qualifications
- Open Competitive Applicants
- Notes
Also metadata like salary, dates, department, exam date, address. These could be folded into a short
or maybe a "Details" section? But the rules say not to create headings for minor metadata. I'll include a brief introductory paragraph with key details: salary, department, exam date, application window.
The posting includes "Salary $23.49 per hour" - that's pay information. Should I create a Pay section? The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state salary, so I could include a Pay section. But the rule also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." A Pay section with just one line might be thin. I could include it in a "Details" paragraph.
Similarly, there's no Benefits or Schedule section explicitly. The posting mentions "Examination Date" and "Civil Service Board Office" address. That's more about the exam.
I'll structure as:
- A brief introductory paragraph with key metadata: salary, department, application dates, exam date, location.
- Responsibilities section (h3)
- Minimum Qualifications section (h3) with sub-lists for each requirement category.
- Military Credit section (h3)
- Promotional Qualifications section (h3)
- Open Competitive Applicants section (h3)
- Notes section (h3)
But note: "Minimum Qualifications" includes Age, License Requirements, General Requirements, Citizenship, Background Investigation. These are sub-items. I could make them sub-headings (h4?) but the rule only mentions h3 for section headings. It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid h4, but to keep it simple, I'll use h3 for main sections and maybe use or nested lists for sub-items.
Better: Use h3 for "Minimum Qualifications" and then use a list with each requirement as a list item, perhaps with bold labels.
Let's examine the content:

I'll create an introductory paragraph with these details.
Now, I need to output only HTML fragment. No markdown fences.
Let's write the HTML.
I'll start with a for the metadata.
Then sections with
and - or
as appropriate.
For Minimum Qualifications, I'll use a list where each item is a requirement category with its details.
For Responsibilities, a list.
For Military Credit, Promotional Qualifications, Open Competitive Applicants, Notes: these are prose, so maybe
or
if they have multiple points. They are paragraphs, so I'll use for each.
But the rule says "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." So for Military Credit, it's a paragraph. For Promotional Qualifications, it's a paragraph. For Open Competitive Applicants, paragraph. For Notes, multiple sentences, but could be a list? The notes are separate points: examination dates subject to change, calculators provided, final appointment contingent, applicants responsible. I'll make them a list.
Let's decide.
I'll structure:
