We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Need to preserve substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Minimum Qualifications Preferred Qualifications: Valid Special Education license from the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board. - Desired Experience: Special education classroom experience in a K-12 school setting. - Desired Knowledge: Plan and facilitate Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings; exercise independent and professional judgment in carrying out daily functions; maintain an effective work pace under pressure to meet deadlines; grasp new concepts quickly and apply them effectively; work effectively with others. - The Hawaii State Department of Education is committed to hiring highly qualified teachers in every classroom. With the exception of designated Career and Technology Education (CTE) positions, the minimum qualification to apply for a teacher, librarian or counselor position is a Bachelor's Degree. If you are hired without completing a Teacher's Education Program, you have a maximum of 3 years to obtain a valid Hawaii teaching license. You must enroll in a Program to continue employment with the Department. Within each year of employment, you must satisfactorily demonstrate active pursuit towards meeting Hawaii licensing requirements, as set forth by the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board (HTSB). It is your responsibility to ensure the program you have enrolled is aligned with the teaching line you are hired in. Upon hire you will need to have a valid Hawaii teaching license or Emergency Hire Permit. You may apply for your Hawaii teaching license on the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board Website ( Supplemental Information Please visit For more information about this school, please visit their website at: (looks like broken) - Equal Opportunity ...

Benefits vary by type of employment appointment and collective bargaining agreements. - Then there are application questions (01 EXTERNAL TEACHER APPLICATION...). Those are application instructions; we should remove them. Thus we need sections: maybe "About the role" (description of role?), "Responsibilities" (maybe the Desired Knowledge includes responsibilities), "Requirements" (minimum qualifications, desired experience), "Qualifications" (maybe license, bachelor's degree), "Skills" (maybe desired knowledge?), "Benefits" (the benefits section), "Pay" (payday info), "Schedule" (maybe 10-month teachers schedule). We need to include only sections with real specific content. Let's extract specifics: - Minimum Qualifications: Valid Special Education license from the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board. - Preferred Qualifications? Not explicitly separate; but "Minimum Qualifications Preferred Qualifications:" line seems combined. We'll treat as Minimum Qualifications: Valid Special Education license from HTSB. - Desired Experience: Special education classroom experience in a K-12 school setting. - Desired Knowledge: list of tasks (plan and facilitate IEP meetings; exercise independent and professional judgment; maintain effective work pace under pressure; grasp new concepts quickly; work effectively with others). - Additional info: Minimum qualification to apply for teacher position is a Bachelor's Degree (except CTE). If hired without completing a Teacher's Education Program, max 3 years to obtain valid Hawaii teaching license. Must enroll in a Program to continue employment. Within each year, must demonstrate active pursuit towards meeting Hawaii licensing requirements (HTSB). Responsibility to ensure program aligned with teaching line. Upon hire need valid Hawaii teaching license or Emergency Hire Permit. Can apply for license on HTSB website. - Supplemental Information: For more information about this school, please visit their website at: (no URL given). Might be placeholder; we can ignore if no actual URL. - Payday: first paycheck within first 3 pay periods; payday on 5th and 20th (or previous business day) each month. - Benefits: Compensation: 10-month teachers compensated per BU05 10-month salary schedule for 10-month work year. 18 days paid sick leave (6 can be used for personal/professional dev). State/Federal holidays. Health Insurance: State pays part of premiums for Medical, Drug, Vision, Adult Dental. Group Life Insurance: free life insurance. Premium Conversion Plan: deduct health care premiums pre-tax. Flexible Spending Accounts: reduce taxes. Retirement Plan: State contributes; eligibility for retirement after 10 years credited service and age 62 or 30 years credited service and age 55. Tax Shelter Annuity (TSA): pre-tax contributions to selected provider. Deferred Compensation: tax-deferred retirement investment via payroll deductions. Temporary Disability Insurance: benefits for non-work related disability. Social Security: State contributes. Workers' Compensation: benefits for job injury. Union & Collective Bargaining: right to join union; some unions provide discounts etc. 12-Month Teachers represented by HSTA. Thus we have Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule: maybe mention 10-month work year (10-month teachers). Could be schedule info. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present. We need to output HTML fragment only. Structure: Use

for each section heading. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. Potential sections: - About the role: maybe a brief description? Not explicitly given. Could combine the introductory statements about hiring highly qualified teachers etc. That's somewhat generic but still substantive. Could be considered "About the role". Might be okay. - Responsibilities: could be the Desired Knowledge list (plan IEP meetings, exercise judgment, etc.) as responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (license) + Desired Experience (K-12 special ed) + Bachelor's degree requirement + license timeline etc. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can combine. - Skills: maybe the desired knowledge list also includes skills; but we already used for responsibilities. Could separate skills as list of abilities: exercise independent judgment, maintain work pace, grasp new concepts, work effectively with others. - Benefits: as above. - Pay: payday info. - Schedule: 10-month work year. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application questions. Let's craft. First, About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the role: The Hawaii State Department of Education seeks a Special Education teacher... but we need to preserve all substantive info; we can't invent. However we can paraphrase but must preserve info. The posting includes statements: "The Hawaii State Department of Education is committed to hiring highly qualified teachers in every classroom." That's about hiring commitment. Also "With the exception of designated Career and Technology Education (CTE) positions, the minimum qualification to apply for a teacher, librarian or counselor position is a Bachelor's Degree." That's more about qualifications. Might be better to put that in Requirements. Thus About the role could be minimal: maybe we skip if no specific role description. The posting does not have a distinct "About the role" paragraph besides the hiring commitment line. Could we treat that as About the role? It's a statement about the department's commitment. Might be okay. But we need to avoid filler. The line is substantive: "The Hawaii State Department of Education is committed to hiring highly qualified teachers in every classroom." That's a statement about the role context. We'll include as About the role. Now Responsibilities: Use Desired Knowledge list. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (license), Desired Experience (K-12 special ed), Bachelor's degree requirement, license timeline (max 3 years to obtain license if not completed teacher ed program, must enroll, demonstrate pursuit each year, need valid license or emergency permit). Also maybe mention need to apply for license via HTSB website. Qualifications: Could be same as Requirements; but we might separate: Qualifications: Valid Special Education license from HTSB; Bachelor's degree; etc. However to avoid duplication, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Requirements & Qualifications". But the instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications separately if content exists. We could split: Requirements: Desired Experience (special ed classroom experience). Qualifications: License, Bachelor's degree, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: - Requirements: Desired Experience: Special education classroom experience in a K-12 school setting. - Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: Valid Special Education license from HTSB. Also Bachelor's degree requirement (minimum qualification to apply for teacher position is a Bachelor's Degree). Also license timeline info. But the license timeline info is more about process; could be under Qualifications as well. - Skills: list of abilities from Desired Knowledge that are skills: exercise independent and professional judgment; maintain effective work pace under pressure; grasp new concepts quickly and apply them effectively; work effectively with others. Also maybe plan and facilitate IEP meetings could be responsibility. We could treat plan and facilitate IEP meetings as responsibility; the rest as skills. Thus Responsibilities: Plan and facilitate Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings. Skills: exercise independent and professional judgment; maintain effective work pace under pressure; grasp new concepts quickly and apply them effectively; work effectively with others. Now Benefits: as detailed. Pay: Payday info. Schedule
