School Psychologist
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Statement Of Nondiscrimination? That's EEO boilerplate; should be removed. Also remove "Employee signature..." etc. Also remove "Functions Of Job Description" maybe not needed. Also remove "Terms Of Employment" maybe not needed unless contains specific content like salary etc. It mentions contract, salary, other employment conditions will be mutually agreed upon... Not specific salary, so we should not create Pay section because no specific pay. Benefits? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we likely have sections: About the role (Job Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities), Requirements (Qualification Requirements? maybe combine), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (Preferred Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities). Also maybe "Supervisory Responsibilities" could be part of Responsibilities. Also "Language Skills", "Mathematical Skills", "Reasoning Ability", "Physical Demands", "Work Environment" maybe could be under Requirements or Qualifications? But we need to follow headings list; we can include sections only if we have content. We have content for About the role (Job Purpose). Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (Preferred Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities). Requirements maybe from Qualification Requirements (knowledge, skill, ability). Also we have Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Reasoning Ability, Physical Demands, Work Environment. Those could be under Requirements or maybe separate but we only have allowed headings; we could put them under Requirements (as a list). However we must not invent sections like Physical Demands unless we have a heading for it (not allowed). So we can incorporate those details into Requirements section as prose or list.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them appropriately. Must not omit any substantive info. That is a lot. We need to include everything except boilerplate. Let's identify substantive sections:
- Job Purpose (Under the direction ...). Keep.
- Preferred Qualifications (list). Keep.
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities (list). Keep.
- Qualification Requirements (list). Keep.
- Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Reasoning Ability (these are under Qualification Requirements? Actually they appear after Qualification Requirements heading). They are separate subheadings but we can incorporate.
- Physical Demands (list). Keep.
- Work Environment (list). Keep.
- Supervisory Responsibilities (list). Keep.
- Terms Of Employment (some content). Might be considered boilerplate but includes "The contract, salary, and other employment conditions will be mutually agreed upon..." Not specific salary; still substantive? It's generic but maybe we should keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Terms Of Employment is not exactly those; it's about contract etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of job description. However it says "The contract, salary, and other employment conditions will be mutually agreed upon by the Board of Education and the Linden Education Association." That's not specific; but it's still substantive? It's generic but maybe we should keep as it's part of description. However we cannot create Pay section because no specific pay. We could include this info under Requirements or maybe a separate section "Terms" but not allowed headings. Could fold into Requirements as a paragraph.
- Functions Of Job Description (maybe boilerplate). It's describing the job description itself; could be considered boilerplate. Might remove.
- Statement Of Nondiscrimination (EEO) remove.
- Employee signature etc remove.
Thus we need to output HTML with sections:
About the role
Job Purpose text.
Responsibilities
- ... each duty
Qualifications
- ... preferred qualifications
Skills
- ... preferred knowledge, skills, abilities
Requirements
maybe combine Qualification Requirements, Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Reasoning Ability, Physical Demands, Work Environment, Supervisory Responsibilities, Terms Of Employment.
But we need to preserve all detail; we can break into sub-sections using- for each bullet. However we cannot create new headings beyond the allowed list. So we can include multiple
- under Requirements heading, each with appropriate content. That is okay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't duplicate.
Let's extract content precisely.
Job Purpose paragraph:
