School Principal

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Acceleration Academies" then "The Role". We need headings: Use

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. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicate lines, application instructions, cookie/nav/legal/EEO etc. We need to decide sections: Probably "About the role" (the description of role), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications" (maybe includes Education, Certification, Experience, Skills, Passion, Nice to Have), "Benefits", maybe "Pay" (Compensation), "Physical & Work Environment" maybe not a standard heading; but we can include as "Work Environment" if content present. However instructions: Use headings only from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list Work Environment; we could either omit or maybe include under "Qualifications"? Better to omit if not matching list. But we must preserve all substantive info; if we omit work environment details, we lose info. However we could incorporate those details into a

under maybe "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, not exclusive? It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we also need to preserve all substantive info; we can embed work environment details in a paragraph under maybe "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Probably acceptable. We also need to include Pay: they have "Competitive Compensation: starts at $85,000". So we need a Pay section with that. Benefits: they list many benefits; we need Benefits section. Schedule: Not explicitly given; they say full-time, in-person position. Could infer schedule? Not given specific hours. Should we create Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does not state schedule details, just full-time. Might be considered schedule info? Might be okay to include Schedule with "Full-time, in-person". But they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state full-time, in-person; that is schedule info. So we can include Schedule. Requirements: maybe we can combine Education, Certification, Experience under Requirements or Qualifications. They differentiate Requirements vs Qualifications. Usually Requirements are mandatory; Qualifications are desired. We'll decide: Requirements: Education (Bachelor's required), Certification (Secondary Principal certification required, SC Educator Certification required), Experience (3-5 years leadership). Qualifications: Master's preferred, SC 4.0 Certified Evaluator experience a plus, Nice to Have items, Passion, Skills? Actually Skills could be separate section. We have Skills section: they list "Skills: A principal mindset..." etc. So we can put that under Skills. We also have "Desired Attributes" includes Education, Certification, Experience, Skills, Passion, Nice to Have. We'll parse. We need to remove boilerplate: The repeated "Responsibilities" section near end (the generic responsibilities) is duplicate; we should ignore that generic responsibilities block (the one after "Ready to Make a Difference?"), as it's boilerplate. Also remove EEO, Third-Party Agency notice, etc. We need to keep all substantive info: The mission description, role description, key responsibilities (Enrollment, Retention, Academics, Leadership & Advocacy, Compliance), Desired Attributes (Education, Certification, Experience, Skills, Passion, Nice to Have), Benefits, Compensation, Physical & Work Environment (maybe include as a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities). Also "We Value Our Team’s Well-being" includes benefits; we already captured. We need to format lists with

• . For prose use

  . We need to avoid repeating job title as heading; we already not. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

    .
