School Psychologists Anticipated (2026-2027)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove contact email? The instruction: "If there is something that you would like to know specifically about the position that you are applying for or assistance with matching your skills to a position, Carmen Molina-Figueroa will be happy to assist you at molina-figueroac@springfieldpublicschools.com." That's application instruction/contact; should be removed. Also remove nondiscrimination statements etc. Also remove Title IX etc. Also remove "Ready to Make an Impact?" maybe it's a call to action; but we can keep as a paragraph? It's more like encouragement; but it's not boilerplate; we can keep as a paragraph under a section? Might be considered application instruction? It says "If you believe ... we want to hear from you." That's basically a call to apply; could be considered application instruction; but it's not explicit instruction to apply; but safer to remove? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So "Ready to Make an Impact?" and the following paragraph encouraging to apply is application instruction; we should remove it. Also remove "About Our District" maybe it's okay as it's descriptive. Keep sections with substantive content.
We need to preserve all substantive information: details about role, responsibilities, qualifications, district stats, etc.
We must not invent sections like Pay/Benefits/Schedule unless present. Not present.
We need to decide headings: Could use "About the role" but not in text; we have "Why This Role Matters", "What You’ll Do", "What Makes Springfield Public Schools Different?", "Who You Are", "Qualifications", "Our Commitment to Equity", "About Our District". Use those as headings.
We need to convert bullet lists: Under "What You’ll Do" there are bullet points with headings like Instructional Leadership, School Culture & Operations, etc. Those are subheadings but we can treat them as list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
with each duty as - . The subheadings could be bold within li? But we can just keep as plain text.
Similarly "Who You Are" includes qualities; could be list.
"Qualifications" includes bullet-like sentences; we can make list.
"Our Commitment to Equity" is a paragraph.
"About Our District" includes stats; could be list.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "School Psychologists". Not used.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.

About Our District
Springfield Public Schools is a cultural gem in Western Massachusetts that is committed to providing a learning environment that opens the doors of infinite possibilities to our amazing students and staff. We strive to equip each of our approximately 24,000 students with learning experiences that enhance their knowledge and critical thinking skills. We are the 3rd largest district in Massachusetts. Our district has over 44 languages spoken and over 60 countries represented by both students and staff. We foster a positive and professional environment in our schools and worksites where people feel valued, respected, supported, seen and heard. Our students and staff share their ideas and perspectives, learning from and appreciating each other. We are a district that is committed to equity and excellence.
We need to remove duplicated lines: The opening paragraph repeats some stats later; we should keep but not duplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all info, but we can avoid duplication by not repeating same sentence twice. The opening paragraph includes stats about 24,000 students, 60 countries, 44+ languages, 3rd largest district. Later About Our District repeats same stats. We should keep both? It says preserve ALL substantive information; if we remove one we lose info. But we could keep both but they'd be duplicated; maybe we should keep both as they appear in different contexts; duplication is okay if it's original. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, meaning if identical lines appear multiple times, we should deduplicate. The opening paragraph and About Our District have similar but not identical sentences; they are similar but not exact duplicates. We'll keep both.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: The sections about nondiscrimination, Title IX, contact email, etc. Remove.

Why This Role Matters
... (the paragraph)
What You’ll Do
- Instructional Leadership
?? Actually we could keep as plain text with sub-bullets? But instruction only says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. We could keep each top-level bullet as
- and inside we could have
for sub-items. That's fine.
But we need to capture all duties:
Instructional Leadership
- Champion rigorous, engaging, and inclusive teaching practices
- Use data to drive decisions and accelerate student growth
- Provide meaningful feedback to elevate teaching and learning
- Be directly responsible to the Supervisor of Clinical and Behavioral Services.
- Administer comprehensive assessments that address the areas of suspected disability and write comprehensive and professional reports on assessments that provide educationally relevant recommendations.
- Participate in 603 CMR Team meetings as an evaluator to help determine eligibility for special education.
School Culture & Operations
- Create a safe, welcoming, and student-centered environment
Family & Community Engagement
- Build authentic partnerships with families from all backgrounds
- Foster a school community where every voice matters
- Communicate openly, respectfully, and consistently
Professional Culture
- Inspire a shared vision of excellence and equity
- Cultivate a culture of continuous learning and collaboration
- Lead with integrity, empathy, and high expectations
We'll represent each top heading as maybe a - with a heading? But we can just include heading text inside
- and then sublist.
Simplify: Use
- Instructional Leadership: ... but then sublist? Might be messy.
Alternative: treat each bullet point as a separate
- ignoring headings. But we lose grouping. However instruction only requires list for duties; we can just list each duty as separate
- . That would be okay.
Let's extract all duty sentences:
- Champion rigorous, engaging, and inclusive teaching practices
- Use data to drive decisions and accelerate student growth
- Provide meaningful feedback to elevate teaching and learning
- Be directly responsible to the Supervisor of Clinical and Behavioral Services.
- Administer comprehensive assessments that address the areas of suspected disability and write comprehensive and professional reports on assessments that provide educationally relevant recommendations.
